Cattle and sheep wear dedicated collars (with integrated positioning terminals); positions are backhauled via 470 MHz LoRa to the ranch base station, with relays extending coverage in remote areas; the platform provides electronic fencing and lost-animal alarms. It also includes a handheld LoRa receiver—herders take it with their phone, and even in signal-less deep mountains can view nearby cattle and sheep positions; if needed, mount it on a drone to gain altitude for wider aerial signal coverage.
High mountains and dense forests mean poor signal; lost cattle and horses are found on foot
Ranches are mostly in mountains, grasslands and forest edges where phones and public networks have no year-round coverage; ordinary trackers cannot send data out, leaving cattle and sheep effectively “lost”.
Freely grazing herds cover wide areas and move often; they cross into neighbors’ pastures or get lost in the mountains, and finding them on horseback over the hills is time-consuming and laborious.
Large numbers and scattered distribution make headcount rely on roll call; estrus/calving/abnormal straggling are discovered late, affecting breeding and disease prevention.
Ground handheld + drone ascent, two usage modes—herders can find cattle nearby even without network
Handheld ReceiverActively receives LoRa signals from nearby cattle and sheep collars, then viaBluetooth (BLE) broadcastto the herder’s phone. Herders ride motorcycles or walk out; the phone needs no public network signal—open the App to see the real-time direction and distance of nearby cattle and sheep, and follow the signal to find them.
🚁 Drone Aerial Relay:The receiver can also be mounted on a drone for ascent; at altitude with no obstruction, the signal is stronger and wider, able to receive LoRa signals from multiple cattle and sheep at once and forward them as an aerial relay to the ground handheld receiver or phone, quickly locating lost livestock over a wide area.
Two links + aerial relay—real-time base supervision + field offline cattle finding, sharing the same LoRa network

| Alarm Type | Trigger Condition | Level | Disposition Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🚧 Crossing Alarm | Cattle/sheep exceed the electronic fence boundary | Emergency | Push to herder/administrator, drive back promptly |
| ❓ Lost Alarm | Out-of-range activity or long no-report | Emergency | Locate last position, go out to find cattle |
| ⏸️ Abnormal Stillness | Livestock remains still for a long time (suspected fallen ill) | Important | On-site check of health status |
| 💂 Mixed Herd / Wrong Pen | Abnormal crossing of positions among different groups of livestock | Important | Verify groups, prevent mispairing |
| 🔋 Low Battery | Collar terminal battery below threshold | Notice | Remind to replace battery, avoid losing contact |
| 📡 Offline | Terminal has not reported for a long time | Important | Check device/relay coverage |
