New era for farmers: Starlink brings fast internet to the fields!
In an exciting development for agriculture, CNH Industrial has announced a cooperation with SpaceX Starlink in order to offer agricultural machines a fast satellite internet connection. Swiss farmer reports that this cooperation in particular should benefit farmers in remote regions that are often faced with challenges due to poor mobile phone connections.
The integration of Starlink technology in CNH machines enables farmers to send and receive data at any time. This is a real gain for the so -called "Precision Farming", because efficiency increases significantly. Thanks to the satellite connection, real-time telematics and permanent data transmissions can be made via the location, engine state and work progress.
efficient solutions for agriculture
The numerous advantages cannot be overlooked: improved remote diagnoses, remote support, fewer downtime and over-the-air software updates. All of this helps to ensure that fleet management becomes more efficient, especially in regions with large connectivity gaps. The new solution is initially used in North America and Europe before it is rolled out into other parts of the world.
Swiss farmers in rural areas could also benefit from this technology. Starlink, which has been offering internet access in the USA since 2020 and since 2023, plans to expand the number of its satellites up to 42,000 to ensure global broadband coverage with low latency.
Stefano Pampalone, the Agriculture Chief Commercial Officer at CNH, emphasizes that access to this satellite confinementity enables efficient communication and coordination of intelligent machines, which ultimately increases productivity and earnings. In addition, the technology is integrated into the Fieldops ™ platform of CNH, which grants the customer comprehensive insight into their machines and provides data from anywhere. A particularly interesting application example is the precise spraying, where Starlink's technology brings significant logistical advantages in markets such as Brazil. Here the Fieldxplorer platform from CNH, which AI uses to convert drone images into field maps, can deliver data with the help of Starlink almost in real time. This enables farmers to apply pesticides faster and to combat weeds at an early stage, which improves the income. This cooperation between CNH and SpaceX Starlink once again illustrates the commitment to equip farmers with reliable, tailor -made solutions that meet the modern requirements of agriculture. At a time when technology and agriculture are increasingly interwoven, this could make the decisive difference for many farmers. innovations for better yields
