Because connectivity solutions are vital to so much of our conservation tech work, our Connectivity group unites users working across a variety of tech tools. Our community has often flagged connectivity as being extremely important to their work's success, yet the buzzword solutions like IoT and LoRa can be intimidating to conservationists who are new to the topic. In this is the catch-all space for discussing the wide range of communications networks that are becoming increasingly integral to retrieving data in modern conservation tech systems, we welcome beginners, experts, and everyone in between to get involved!
By connecting novices and experts to discuss and demystify connectivity in conservation tech, this group can serve as a place to learn and explore, with spaces to talk about recent progress and developments on the horizon, share resources to help others understand key connectivity issues and why it's relevant to their work, ask questions and troubleshoot, and much more.
Below, you'll find one of our Tech Tutors episodes introducing the subject of connectivity through a tutorial on LoRa:
Sean Sturley: How do I get started with LoRa? Connectivity in conservation
And here you'll find an episode on using satellite IoT:
Alasdair Davies: How do I use satellite IoT to track wildlife and monitor remote equipment?
