THINXTRA IS SUPPORTING THE PREDATOR FREE NZ 2050 PLAN WITH UNIQUE SOLUTIONS
New Zealand has adopted the “ambitious goal” of eradicating its soil of rats, possums, stoats and all other invasive mammals by 2050. The name of the plan: Predator Free 2050.
Solutions for Predator Control
Pest Trap Monitoring
Rat Activity Monitoring
Other Solutions
The Sigfox network is a global network with a global ecosystem of remote sensors solutions. So, although for Predator Control Projects, the primarily use would be for remote monitoring of pest traps, the same network can be used to provide better insights into Assets in the area, geolocation and safety of People (rangers and volunteers) and the overall health of the Environment. An example of these sensors and user cases are below:
For Assets and People
Asset Tracking
Access Door Monitoring
Wildlife Tracking
Trapper Geolocating
Footfall Counter
For Environment
Flood Monitoring
Water Monitoring
Soil & Tree Monitoring
Weather Monitoring
Bush Fire Monitoring
