Agriculture & Forestry

Reap the Benefits of Real-Time Monitoring & Control

As the world’s population increases, the need to feed and supply the valuable products made with trees exceeds. To meet these growing demands, farmers and forestry companies are digitalizing their operations, turning to the Internet of Things (IoT) to optimize their operations and realize greater yields. Smart Farming, Smart Agriculture and IoTrees is enabling cultivators to access and assess real-time data from remote locations, to cut field and labors costs, leverage insights and enhance processes for greater productivity. Network Innovations supplies integrated data connectivity and communications solutions to farmers and foresters, empowering them with the technology to increase production, preserve resources and minimize costs.

Remote Site Connectivity for Smart Farming & Forestry IoT

Given the remote, unpopulated location of forests, wireless network coverage is often non-existent. In rural communities, cellular coverage can be spotty with dead zones despite acres of crop or livestock to monitor. Real time monitoring and control to automate irrigation, track asset performance, attain & assess production quality metrics and more – requires dependable network connectivity.

Network Innovations specializes in supplying data connectivity everywhere – from rural fields & livestock operations to timber harvests & logging operations in remote regions, regardless of adverse weather or environmental conditions. Our team has a complete range of adaptable and cost-effective data, voice, & automation solutions to enable you to remotely connect to your operations.
