The challenge
Modern farming depends on continuous communication with machinery, environmental sensors, irrigation systems, harvest operations and power infrastructure. Rural and remote areas frequently sit beyond reliable terrestrial coverage.
- Environmental and open-field monitoring across large rural areas.
- Automatic irrigation and greenhouse management.
- Harvest, crop and machinery monitoring.
- Security, anti-theft and vandalism alerts.
The HiSKY solution
HiSKY’s Smartellite™ network carries farm data over Ka/Ku-band GEO satellites. Its open architecture connects field devices and applications to the farmer’s existing systems. Smartellite™ Dynamic terminals, the HiSKY HBS modem and Space Control (NMS) form one managed satellite network.
- Connections for machinery, sensors and third-party applications.
- Dynamic terminals for moving assets and fixed sites.
- Optional satellite/LTE operation using an external LTE router.
- Network configuration, monitoring, reporting and analysis through Space Control (NMS).
