SMART FARMING SERVICES

In Smart Farming, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, sensors, and automation systems are deployed throughout the farming ecosystem to monitor and optimize various aspects of crop cultivation and livestock management. By collecting real-time data on soil conditions, weather patterns, crop health, and animal well-being, farmers can make informed decisions, maximize yields, and minimize resource waste. 

A perfect candidate for enabling M2M communication and providing robust network connectivity is our RUTX11 cellular router that rings all the bells and whistles. First and foremost, with the ability to have cellular connectivity as the primary Internet source, RUTX11 is sure to provide the entire center-pivot irrigation system with a robust and uninterrupted network – even in the countryside. The router also offers a carrier aggregation function, allowing the merging of two bands for a significant boost in data transmission bandwidth. This technology further increases the network's reliability with improved coverage and stability, crucial for solutions located in remote areas. 

With the help of Capestone, Agrifac installed our RUT955 cellular router in each of its crop sprayers. Capestone also provided custom configuration that enabled this perfect fit. Connected via Ethernet communication, this industrial networking device provides connectivity to the mobile machines – creating a stable and secure mobile data communication bridge to Agrifac’s cloud server. On top of robust LTE Cat 4 connectivity and Dual SIM for extra reliability, this high-performance router has a number of features that make it shine all the brighter in this use case.
