Intelsat and CNH to enhance Brazilian agriculture with satellite connectivity

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 29, 2024

Intelsat, a major provider in integrated satellite and terrestrial networks, alongside CNH (NYSE: CNHI), known for brands like Case IH, New Holland, and Steyr, have committed to implementing advanced satellite terminals on CNH farm equipment across Brazil's remote farmlands using Intelsat's extensive global network. "As the first satellite communications company to provide multi-orbit connectivity to farmers around the world, Intelsat's collaboration with CNH will unlock new capabilities in the most remote locations through our global communications platform," stated Dave Wajsgras, CEO of Intelsat. "We've proven that ruggedized, built-for-purpose terminals that can access multiple satellite orbits from anywhere offer the highest network reliability, greater throughput and the best user experience."

Smart farming, or precision agriculture, demands robust connectivity to facilitate data streaming between farm equipment and cloud services. With over 570 million farms worldwide, many are in rural areas lacking traditional connectivity options. In Brazil, less than 25% of farmland is within reach of a cellular tower. The Intelsat FlexMove satellite network provides the necessary reliable connectivity for the adoption of connected agricultural tools and to advance the next major agricultural transformation.

"Satellite technology helps solve the complex connectivity challenges for hard-to-reach farms, but not all providers are equal. Intelsat stands out for their depth of experience as well as the quality and reliability of their service and industrial terminal offerings. We look forward to serving customers around the world with their solution," remarked Marc Kermisch, Chief Digital and Information Officer at CNH.

Scheduled for launch in Q3, this initiative highlights the significance of agriculture in Brazil's economy and Intelsat's commitment to enhancing infrastructure across the nation.
