FN-VWN Wireless Decoder
LoRa long-range wireless valve control — no cabling required
The FN-VWN uses LoRa wireless technology to control up to 128 valves per module at up to 4.5 km line-of-sight range. Solar-powered decoders eliminate field cabling entirely — ideal for remote areas, rocky terrain, and installations where trenching is impractical.
our core strengths
Proven at Scale, Built for Performance
Farmnet manages the variables that determine crop consistency and operational efficiency. Systems are deployed across greenhouse, open-field, and indoor production environments, providing real-time control of temperature, humidity, CO₂, water delivery, and nutrient dosing.
Operating at national scale within the world's largest agricultural economy. Farmnet systems support dense networks of greenhouse and open-field operations across the highest-intensity production regions.
End-to-end production capability. Controllers, fertigation units, and system components are designed, produced, and validated within Farmnet's dedicated industrial facilities.
More than a decade of continuous development in agricultural control systems, refined through multiple technology generations and operational requirements.
Multidisciplinary engineering organisation focused on agricultural automation, control architecture, hardware design, and software systems.
Systems operating across diverse climates and production models—from arid environments to advanced controlled-environment agriculture.
Thousands of systems in continuous 24/7 operation, generating long-term performance data that informs system reliability and design.

Key Features
No field cabling
Solar-powered wireless decoders connect to valves locally — no trenching, no cable runs, no conduit.
4.5 km LoRa range
Long-range LoRa radio covers large fields without repeaters, maintaining reliable communication over challenging terrain.
Solar-powered operation
Integrated solar panel and battery keep each decoder operational without mains power connection.
