MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541084727 A) filed by Dr. M. Kalamani, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on Sept. 6, 2025, for 'intelligent iot-based automation for resilient environmental monitoring in mountain agriculture.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Iyappan Murugesan; Dr Pratibha Chavan; Ms. G. Sowndharya; Mrs. P. Gokila; and Mr. Dhamotharan C.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The system leverages LoRa (Long Range) technology in a mesh network configuration to overcome the limitations of conventional wireless solutions, such as limited range and power consumption, particularly in hilly or mountainous terrain. The architecture consists of battery-powered sensor nodes, each equipped with a microcontroller and an RF transceiver to collect environmental data from sensors like temperature, humidity, and soil moisture. These nodes are autonomously powered by a solar panel and battery pack. Data from the sensor nodes is transmitted through the mesh network to a central gateway, which utilizes a microcontroller with a Wi-Fi module. This gateway relays the data to a cloud-based platform, such as Blynk, Firebase, or a custom web app, for real-time monitoring and analysis. The self-organizing and low-power nature of the LoRa mesh network ensures continuous and reliable data flow, enabling precision agriculture and informed decision-making for sustainable farming practices in remote and rugged environments."
