This is a shot presentation about my Animal Tracking project and the technical Architecture behind the project. You can read about this project in the press just search IBM and Rhino or see the blog here https://www.ibm.com/blogs/internet-of-things/protecting-endangered-rhinos/

3. 3
We using Lora Sensor and Lora Gateways to track animals which live
around Rhinos to prevent poaching.
We are not Tracking or Tagging Rhinos rather using patterns and
prediction of surrounding animals to project Rhinos
The Lora infrastructure which is Build for the Animal tracking will also be
used for other asset tracking use cases like cars / or in mining
