 Thank you very much And yeah, thanks everyone for being here today and thank you for the invite So look, we're here to talk about what actually says devices and sensors But it's more about getting the information from those devices and sensors and it's the work we've done in both the internet and Also trough and tank monitoring which is a lot of work that Mike's done. He's wearing the high vis. He's the only does a lot of work so So We'll keep going. Okay, and we'll get going from there. So we're asked about motivation and why people install this technology and it really comes down to Labor replacement now. That's not necessarily someone losing their job. That's just someone doing their job more efficiently Just something to keep in mind during this presentation You got a couple of options option a pay an employee to check a tank the 95% of the time didn't need checking Be pretty common over if anyone's on the on the land or option B You check that same tank and a hundred other sites yourself While said Adelaide oval was an example and at the Bradman bar Now, you know, the technology is not that just about so you can get off the farm and go and drink cans This is the example here. This tank is a 210 kilometer round trip And it was previously it was used to be checked three times a week in the summer 45-degree heat land cruiser employee diesel tires the whole shooting match that was on Adelaide May or sorry Murray River Mayans That's why they had to keep checking it because if it did go it cost it was a lot of money in water Everyone wants and needs internet, so I'm gonna have to move around a bit here because The thing I need glasses Everyone wants and needs internet and it generally and it is generally there You have to fight harder to get it and in regional Australia Internet with all the following is pretty hard to find decent data plans good latency decent hardware good support and service and something That's reliable Why have we taken this path? You can't effectively operate a business on battle low volume internet. That's that's a given Even though it's what some suppliers and other funded projects insist we in the country do It's not cost-effective and it's stressful. I have had people in tears on the phone on about their internet a Point to note for those who have absolutely no coverage and Michael got this information the other day that Telstra do cover a lot of South Australia's population 99.6 is not bad. You're pretty good school grade But for them to cover the next point 1% they'd need to double their coverage area so, you know the thing to take from that is On those really tough areas where there might be one or two people out there unless it's government funded They're not going to go out there and you can understand why In the area we cover for our internet Telstra have about 15 towers and we have about 130 points of presence in the same place now ours aren't million dollar towers, but They are at they are a place where you can get connectivity We've grown from a pretty simple question We get asked all the time. Can we get connected? Economically, you know, we can connect anyone, you know, we can connect Birdsville if we wanted to you just got a Pay the money to get it there. So it's got to be economic and Producers have lots of their own ideas. They're the ones that come up with the ideas, but they lack the internet for it to function So here's some examples a friend of ours down at Kunawara. He called with the following issues So this might be common for some as well. So he was sick of SIM cards. He had heaps of SIM cards He was tired of multiple data plans and contracts He had enough of dealing with Overseas call centres that might be something else that rings a bell and in his words He's just sick of the BS. He just wanted to go on farm That's just sick of the rubbish and he just wanted internet to a new location From that one link that that was put together That network has to grow in so this is his own internal network. It's grown to Connect about 50 pumps and they're all on auto Manual remote stop start the internet to three family houses a small camera network Internal camera network. They're solar array management is connected to it and there's separate their sensor push alerts for temperature for his frost control The big part of that for him to be able to control 50 pumps and A certain number of them for frost the big saving is not only time, you know getting around there is water Massive saving in water And for down in the southeast. That's a big thing. So well in the whole country really, isn't it? So what took multiple employees before he can now do it all from the iPad. So and those concepts Is what brought us to where we are today and that's our little network that's grown from that one idea And that is still growing and we've also teamed up with beam internet who do a lot of work in the Mid-North And I've also over at Ki. We've teamed up with them as well Incovering some country. Here's another example customer wanted internet. That's all they wanted They're up on the up in the Narkat or bottom of the Narkat wanted internet. They're on NBN satellite But it also mentioned while we're talking because we went up to this hill and it's a good spot For it for an internet tower for us to be able to push internet around to them and their neighbors But if you've read it there already mentioned in 20 years that his dad put 500,000 K's on a ute just to check the tank This is in the southeast. This is an up north So we got talking and said well look, you know, we put a tower here I'll chuck a camera on there for you and you can check it from there And so we added a camera as you can see and he now has a 24-7 live feed and that's just a little snippet of it, but you can see the water moving there So all right while we're up there that tower had to connect to another tower. So we did the same for each neighbor And it does sound like a toilet filling I know but that is a tank So he would have to drive up the top of a fairly sensitive sand hill and he did in Stinking hot weather. He just it it just made tracks. He just wanted to stop doing that So now he just checks it and we got a text from him on the way up just by coincidence and saying loving the camera say Why did we select this technology? It uses the same technology you have at home. So it's not proprietary It's not something that we've developed or anything like that. You know, this is used globally. It's Wi-Fi It's the same stuff you would have connected to today Therefore it uses the same technology that drives the internet last I checked the internet's not going anywhere anytime soon It does provide one platform For anything that's networkable. So anything you can either connect via wireless or connect via an ethernet cable You can connect into this and then it gets that you get you to the internet and it provides that agricultural road for the IOT so That road does get that road that to me is getting used a lot and we've seen we've seen good examples and we've seen Average examples. We don't think a lot of it is there yet But you know, we're having a go the other benefits of putting your own network in is That it can let you go where Other times you normally cannot now that road cut closed live fires on we're a minestation correct Mike somewhere up there Bottom of Boa Kalina. So that's the that's the Air Force out there doing live fires not someone out there shooting rabbits So it is it but as you can see they've driven They've come from out of there. They're not they're not stopping from driving in so they found that out after they got out Yeah, yeah, there was nothing wrong with us being in there, so you have to remind me when you're taken over Mike, so Right, I'll go on a right internal networks provide a multi-purpose platform for anything that is internet enabled I've explained that gives you live access to all your connected devices now connected device can be a camera Could be a flow meter But remote stop start for pumps, you know anything you can think of We worked out a long time ago. We might come up with an idea But there's plenty of people smarter than us probably came up with it before us So if it's out there and and it can do something it's going to be internet connectable Connectable does not require monthly similar license charges of each location and there's no monthly support charges You know unless you've got an internet connection with us outside that you know We don't there's no fees like it's your network. You call us if something ever goes wrong, which is rare But that's it and if something does go wrong. We teach them how to repair and replace that equipment and we can do it with guidance Optus modem up on a hill west of Port Augusta Whether it was lightning. We're not sure something wasn't right up there He thought it was fantastic because he did have phone coverage So logged on to his laptop with team viewer and I connected into the network and guided him through turn the camera on It's first time I met the blog Turn the camera on on the laptop and we got it sorted So, you know, this is sort of it's cool stuff you can do the other thing is the hardware is cheap You know, it's a it's a global thing. We use ubiquity Hardware it's a global Product so it's mass-reduced so it is cheap. So the average replacement cost. It's about 200 bucks. There's something goes wrong Is that my cue or? Righty-o, so we're two from here. Hopefully we've got your good internet everything's connected and now what? As I said the benefits in a network are not just limited to just that one purpose and that's the key difference If you're gonna go put a network in you know to put camera systems in on tanks Is you know, we're talking around about three three and a half thousand dollars if you put one camera in You know by the time you get it into the house five six grand It's a lot of money for one camera unless that tank was 210 k's away When you start putting in lots of cameras then it gets to that thing of labor replacement The person who used to do all that work now they can go and do something else And that's the difference. Okay When are you kicking in Mike? Righto, you'd like you just stand there and look bright in your shirt. I'm improving what we already have In agriculture the IOT has already enabled and can be used with the following you know EID GPS I don't need to read it all out. You can see everything there Down the bottom there we've kicked in with a bit of stuff From hydro wise that remote stop start for pumps You know hydro wise when you look at the marketing It's basically for a bit of irrigation and maybe a home your home system But there's a whole bunch of other things you can do with it More sure monitoring and temperature weather sensing as long as it can connect to the internet Then it can connect to a wireless network So the following pump here's another example 70k round trip from the homestead pumps been started it used to be started every day Sorry, it is started every day and runs for eight hours, but once you left you had no visibility So if you come back the next day and it hasn't pumped for that eight hours, you're a long way behind So let's see if this works Okay, so you see the little leave in there pushing in so that's been done from an app Now the reason it takes so long to start is I did this last year Michael was showing remotely how to use this system It took me a while to find the button. So here comes our token pigeon In for a look you can see where he obviously sits or Well Righty-a There she goes There's plenty of these pumps up there Now we're going for time No No One of the real tricks is not Not just somehow getting internet there We actually got to come up with a way to make all of these things that are not IOT it's just the same note you had but you go there might be a thousand dollars or five hundred dollars Even a $100 little thing, but alongside you got the $20,000 diesel. That's got a run. It's still gonna be protected and one of the real Issues I think is the industry is actually trying to get what's already existing to actually become And that little Actuated it to get effectively what's already there They said these pumps can now be started and stop from the phone or computer anywhere anytime and live video tells you it's working That's the other thing, you know, it's 45 degrees Blown it's blown its backside off and Your truck and you've you've checked the tank whenever last night are you gonna trust that that tank is okay? You know you might have senses or whatever But if you look at that camera if the camera's on you know the cameras off you better go and check that something something else has happened the biggest the big one of the biggest Challenges we have up in the north or anything that you stick up in the air is Corellas So they love the stuff another place to perch and chew everything up. So anyway live video tells you it's working Rightio, here's another run of videos. I'm a little bit old now, but you can see how the one in the middle there That was February last year up north. It was pretty rough then so again, you know that one farm 85 other cameras seeing is believing They look at a screen in the morning while he's eating his cornflakes Water run done Here's another one Wi-Fi calling internet repeater. So again, this is about bringing a whole heap of technologies into the one network Everyone was anyone not know what Wi-Fi calling is Is everyone shy good everyone knows what Wi-Fi calling is so Current plans for you know say an optus plan $80 500 gig a month optus wireless. This is what was available at this site It's bigger plans than most of the other well then all the other providers on wireless 32k link to the next repeater and then a 2k link into the homestead Re-broadcast all stations buildings employees Quarters giving them internet and mobile phone provides all residents as I've just said there sorry and It's on the same internal network as the camera network. So up north The homesteads are all down the in the valleys So if this heats a mobile phone signal up on the hill you got to get it down And that's what that simple thing does and we don't spend anything on foundations. It's all using existing rocks. So And the reason why he uses existing rocks is he did try and drill into one spot and gave up on that idea never to happen again, so Okay management platform Yeah, non-penetrating that's right So the management platform and I just went to one there before and look we haven't seen an all-encompassing platform yet If anyone sees one let us know but companies are clamoring to achieve this and if you see Down in the main area there where we started there was a lot of companies with all these with all these things But whether everything's all encompassed on that. I don't think so just yet, but it won't be driven by the ag sector You know, we think it will be developed by the IT industry to serve all industry Someone some out there is going to need enough of this of this technology that it'll get developed And then it gets rolled out. It's like what we use in ubiquity for ubiquity wireless was set up Not to check troughs and tanks It was set up to get people internet where they couldn't get it and that's in the city Not in the in regional areas and that's the common denominator Well, there you go. You got through on skates in you. Um, so thanks everyone for your time
