Wifi-Enabled Sheep To Help Connect Rural Wales

An ambitious project to turn farm fields into digital smart zones has been launched in rural Wales. The aim is to connect everything from sheep to riverbanks to allow the countryside of Conwy to enjoy the digital revolution.

Sheep will be equipped with electronic collars to monitor their movements and understand their habits. These, in theory, could also be used to create as many wi-fi access points as the animals wearing them.
