The challenge
Brazil's agricultural regions often lack reliable internet connectivity, restricting access to the data-driven tools required for precision farming and limiting communication between machinery and cloud platforms.
- Large farming regions extend beyond reliable terrestrial coverage.
- Machinery cannot consistently exchange operational data with cloud platforms.
- Connectivity gaps limit precision agriculture and resource optimization.
The HiSKY solution
Intelsat integrated HiSKY’s Smartellite™ network to provide Industrial IoT connectivity for CNH farming equipment in Brazil. Smartellite™ Dynamic 16×16 Ku terminals, the HiSKY HBS modem and Space Control (NMS) deliver mobile connectivity between machinery and cloud platforms.
- End-to-end service integrated within the Intelsat satellite network.
- Mobile Ku-band connectivity on farming equipment.
- Initial deployment for CNH Industrial, including Case IH, New Holland and Steyr.
- Network monitoring and administration through Space Control (NMS).
