Agriculture is where almost all of this lands on Halo. Eleven entries sense inside a greenhouse, six solve connectivity across a farm, and five listen or look for a pest. Power and bandwidth are the recurring constraints, and three entries answer the first by needing no battery at all. On Halo it spans 7 groups, including sensing inside a greenhouse, connectivity across a farm, and watching for a pest.
Stage of development. Work on internet of things (iot) applications on Halo comes mostly from companies. 51% of the solutions are in market. Co-development and sponsored research are the usual partnering routes, and about 53% of the solutions that state terms offer pilot engagements.
Three trends in Internet of things solutions on Halo
The greenhouse is the deployment site. Eleven entries sense inside one: climate, soil, nutrient status read through microneedles worn by the plant, greenhouse gases by electronic nose and by eddy covariance. It is enclosed, valuable, already wired for power in places, and has an operator who checks things daily. Almost every constraint that makes outdoor IoT hard is relaxed there.
Power is solved by removing it. Three entries need no battery: paper sensors driven by tunnel diodes at long range, wireless backscattering that reflects an incoming signal and generates none of its own, and energy harvesting multisensor monitoring. Battery replacement is the operating cost that kills a large sensor deployment, and these are the three ways around it.
Listening for the pest. Seismic sensors picking up red palm weevil larvae inside a trunk at 98% accuracy, acoustic pollinator counting, an ultra-low power vision system for insects, and a beehive that treats what it detects. Pests are small, mobile and expensive, which is exactly the profile a continuous sensor suits and a periodic inspection does not.

Frequently asked questions
What are Internet of things solutions?
Internet of things applications covers putting a sensor somewhere and getting the reading back. It spans sensing inside a greenhouse, monitoring for a pest, connectivity across a farm, vision and thermal cameras on a production line, sensors that run with no battery, and industrial measurement inside a machine. Growers, manufacturers and agricultural operators are the buyers.
