Smart Farming Technology

Smart farming technology helps farmers, ranchers, foresters, farmworkers, and other agricultural organizations make informed decisions for productivity improvements. With 5G solutions from Cradlepoint, you can gain control of your agriculture IoT operation with real-time data at your fingertips. Today, many farmers are turning to technology to provide intelligent push-button solutions to give them greater levels of control over their farming environments and operations. From soil conditions and planting to water control and harvesting, everything can be measured, data collected, and shared.

Wide area network is transforming 

You may not have heard of the term Wireless WAN. But as the wide-area network is transforming, high availability, reach, and agility is becoming a necessity for farmers and ranchers. Here is how 4G and 5G WAN solutions can solve some common shortfalls of wired-only networks:

Availability

Wireless broadband offers a genuinely diverse network path for failover since wireless does not share wired trenches, local nodes, or last-mile providers, thereby preserving revenue, IT staff confidence, and excellent customer experiences.

Reach

Cellular networking can extend services to customers’ physical locations — from vehicles to remote devices and/or equipment — consequently delivering richer customer experiences and more efficient operations.

Agility

The wireless broadband experience begins on day-1. It can move within locations and to another location by merely disconnecting and reconnecting power. This ability dramatically expands the growth opportunities of the organization or business.

Built on LTE and 5G technologies, Wireless WANs are proving to be an effective solution to respond to a wide range of business needs, from pop-up locations and day-1 connectivity to outdoor operations, parallel and IoT networks, and the growing needs of redundant, high-availability connected devices in fixed locations. In many remote locations, wireless is the only option to support enterprise-class networks. LTE and 5G empower lean IT departments to easily add agile network connections to existing networks for fast and secure access to critical data and applications.
