The LPWA long-distance wireless sensor system NSOS-100, developed by Nissha Printing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter 'Nissha') and Nissha Group company SiMICS Co., Ltd., has been selected as the production control system of the farmland sensing solution e-Sensing For Agri, provided by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone East Corporation (NTT East). The LPWA long-distance wireless sensor system NSOS-100 requires no power source, batteries, or cables to measure properties of the environment essential to farm produce management -temperature, humidity, illumination, soil temperature, and soil moisture-and send the data to remote locations. The project represents the world's first instance of commercialization of EnOcean long-distance LPWA communications technology (as of May 2017, based on an in-house study). Nissha draws on its expertise in sensing technology to combine various sensors with EnOcean wireless communications technology and develop original products and systems that contribute to the streamlining of agriculture.
* LPWA, an acronym of 'low power, wide area,' is a collective term for long-distance wireless communications technology requiring little power.
* EnOcean is a wireless standard for energy harvesting technology. Nissha and SiMICS are members of the EnOcean Alliance.
