FARMING AHEAD INTELLIGENCE

Research Report: 2020 Communications and Technology (May 2020)

Kondinin Group has a look at some of the latest technology, phones and the Internet of Things to help improve efficiency around the farm.

Mobile phones are an essential tool in running a farm business. They need to be easy to use, have good battery life, be appropriately sized, durable and have good signal sensitivity to ensure they operate in remote areas.

In many cases they are a lifeline to markets and farm suppliers.
But farming communication needs are expanding beyond just personal handsets for calls, emails or online access.

Provision for farm connectivity means that now not just the farmer, but the farm can be connected to the world.

Just as we transitioned from communications on farm being the copperwire-fed fixed home or workshop phone to mobile devices, farm communications continues to evolve.
