- nine_k 7mo agoIf the idea takes off, I don's why a DIY approach can't be viable. Produce your own collars (you'd need many thousands, a factory would be happy), plant your own towers with your own transmitters (likely bog-standard LoRa, or similar), write your own open-source firmware for all that, and an open-source control app. It's pretty doable, given enough will.

- nine_k 7mo agoThis is exactly why a startup plans to sell all that to farmers in a neat package, maybe along with a subscription to cover the towers maintenance costs.
