Worldwide Cellular IoT Connectivity for Smart Agriculture

Large farm owners use wireless IoT applications to collect data about their livestock’s welfare and health on their exploitations. Continuous data transmission helps farmers identify sick animals so that they can be separated from the herd and prevent contamination. It also reduces labour costs, as farm owners can locate their livestock using IoT-based sensors.

Drones collect multispectral, thermal, and visual images during flight based on real-time data collection and processing. They are widely used in smart agriculture to improve various farming practices. Ground and aerial drones are useful for crop assessment, irrigation, monitoring, spraying, planting, and soil and field analysis.
Key benefits of using drones include plant health visualisation, integrated mapping, ease of use, time-saving and the potential to increase yields.

Tractor telematics applications are made possible with Transatel's SIM cards connect through our regional infrastructures, ensuring your bandwidth is maxed and latency reduced automatically based on your SIM location.
You can enable fuel monitoring, monitoring of operating parameters, GPS tracking and run-time tracking of tractors, harvesters and other widely used agricultural vehicles.

IoT sensors provide hydrometry and growth monitoring information such as light levels, pressure, humidity, and temperature. These sensors can also be activated remotely or programmed to automatically control actuators, open a window, turn on a light, control a heater, turn on an appliance or turn on a fan. This is especially useful for vertical agriculture, which requires complete control of environmental parameters! And if you are using a LoRa or other local low energy networks, our M2M SIM will be the perfect backhaul solution to keep your gateways connected.

Agricultural production machines need an effective connectivity to ensure quality control and enable automated production processes for cost-saving.
Using Transatel’s always-on connectivity, farmers can monitor their equipment remotely thanks to uninterrupted data transmission and get updates on their condition.

Farms and fields are often located in areas that are difficult to supply, both, in connectivity and energy. While Transatel’s SIM allows multi-network coverage, the second issue can be trickier. Monitoring devices can prove challenging with these conditions: setting up the cables necessary to provide power is either costly or impossible.
Solar power provides an advantageous solution: sensors and other monitoring devices can be powered without cables and complex installations. Not only is this energy sustainable, but it also solves one of the biggest constraints farmers face when they are remote, so they can improve their productivity with real-time monitoring.
