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.
