How tomorrow's mobile networks will change how we farm paid TMobileBusiness
Tomorrow’s mobile networks could clear the way for more farmers to innovate, regardless of location.However, a big hurdle stands in the way for technology-savvy farmers: accessibility. Farms in rural areas outside of high-speed network range struggle to use the IoT platforms available for agriculture. A promising prediction? Tomorrow’s mobile networks could clear the way for more farmers to innovate, regardless of location.
Kelly cites a sensor technology that identifies soil type and measures moisture and consistency. “It allows for much more accurate use of fertilizers,” he explains. “In some areas, you may not need fertilizers, where others might need a little more.” Agricultural robotics may not require mobile networks today, according to Kelly, but a broader farming transformation is dependent on a connectivity boost from next-gen networks. Higher speeds could make for a more seamless farm-to-fork workflow, benefiting stakeholders including suppliers, transportation companies, veterinarians and retailers.
“By having a network that can handle hundreds or thousands of IoT connections without fear of congestion, the data coming off sensors could be used in a more real-time fashion,” he says.
