Fence to Fence: private 4G LTE mobile networks for farms
Connected Farms Pty Ltd, an Australian company and Licenced Telecommunications Carrier, was formed to specifically provide connectivity solutions to the agriculture sector with the vision of enabling digital agriculture. They have three key areas of offering:
- Improved business grade broadband to the farm office/house.
- Mobile quality coverage over the farmland to allow improved voice and data communications (and this coverage can also collect IoT data). Farm coverage, Fence to Fence™.
- Regional/local edge micro datacentres – to reduce latency in autonomous applications and allow better near-farm data processing of all the various data sources such as IoT sensors We use a variety of technical solutions tailored to the farm’s particular requirements to achieve these, because a grower on a broadacre operation has much different needs to a farmer running cattle on their paddocks.
We can also cover multiple locations in diverse areas / states. Our skillsets in providing rural and regional coverage solutions have been well proven with many decades of collective experience and we are harvesting these skills and experience into the Connected Farms offering.
