On-Farm Connectivity Assessment
What is your Farm’s Current Connectivity Status?
Use this On-Farm Connectivity Assessment to understand the current connectivity levels on your farm and the existing connectivity obstacles. Plus, explore solutions that align with the unique demands of your farming operation.
What Best Describes Your On-Farm Connectivity?
- Very Poor or No Connectivity
- Patchy Connectivity
- Unreliable Connectivity
The Black Spots
Very Poor or No Connectivity
Farms falling into this category grapple with the challenge of poor or non-existent connectivity. Large portions of the land are devoid of any communication signals, making it impossible to make calls, use data in the field, or fully integrate precision ag technologies.
Zero Connectivity
Are you unable to establish any form of connectivity on significant portions of your farm?
Call Dropouts
Do you experience complete call dropouts or struggle to make calls consistently or at all?
Precision ag tech
Do you have limited ability to adopt precision ag tech on to your farm due to your lack of connectivity on over your farm?
If you answered yes to most or all of the questions above: your farm experiences Very Poor or No Connectivity.
Recommended Solutions for Poor or No Connectivity
Salt and Pepper Connectivity
Patchy Connectivity
Farms in this category face the challenge of "salt and pepper" connectivity. Some areas may receive coverage from one operator, while others may rely on a different one, leading to inconsistent connectivity with holes or gaps in the connectivity where there is nothing. This results in frequent dropouts during calls, unreliable data usage in your fields, time wastage, and limitations in precision ag capabilities.
Inconsistent Coverage
Do you experience patchy coverage or coverage inconsistencies across your farm from different mobile network operators / one mobile network operator (i.e. Telstra, Optus, TPG)? Are there gaps in the coverage where some parts of your farm receive very limited or no coverage?
Call Dropouts
Are you plagued by frequent call dropouts and unreliable data connectivity?
Precision ag tech
Do you have limited ability to adopt precision ag tech on to your farm due to your patchy connectivity on over your farm? Or are you unable to use your precision ag tech’s full capabilities because of the patchy connectivity over your farm?
If you answered yes to most or all of the questions above, your farm experiences Salt and Pepper Connectivity.
Recommended Solutions for Patchy Connectivity
Sometimes good sometimes bad
Unreliable Connectivity
Farms in this category sometimes boast good connectivity, with reliable calls, data use and precision ag usage extending seamlessly across their entire land but frustratingly other times even making phone calls isn’t possible. This creates a disrupted communication and data usage experience.
Unreliable Connectivity
Does your farm sometimes enjoy consistent and reliable data across your farm but other times it does not?
Call Dropouts
Can you sometimes make calls without experiencing dropouts or interruptions across your whole farm, but other times do you experience dropouts and interruptions?
Precision ag tech
Does your farm have reliable connectivity to utilise precision ag and its capabilities across all your paddocks/land but other times it does not?
