Through the combination of multi-radio connectivity, sensor data collection, and weather forecasting, Evan Rust's M-SoM-controlled system makes irrigation far more efficient than traditional methods by anticipating future rainfall and eschewing grid-based power for solar and a gravity-fed water source.

Love hearing this, and it echoes the sentiment I am getting first hand in the field. On top of the 5G connection, end-to-end security and over-the-air reprogrammability come standard (as with our entire portfolio), delivered via Particle's full #IoT infrastructure. What excites me the most though, is that #Tachyon now has ~1,200 backers on #Kickstarter.. and I've had nowhere near 1,200 conversations (is there still really only 24 hours in a day?!?) Simply cannot wait to keep learning about the amazing things Tachyon is going to bring to life. Onward!
"There are a lot of Raspberry Pi competitors out there, but the Tachyon really does have some specs that set it apart. The first is an integrated cellular 5G connection. It's something you'd expect from an IoT company like Particle, of course, but it's a rare sight on a single-board computer."

It's electrifying to see the community starting to implement the M-Series in their projects! Eric Yuan has developed his own industrial-grade smart plug with the Particle M-SoM that's capable of controlling and monitoring AC power, and then uploading data to the cloud: https://lnkd.in/eFAKgDp3
