IoT Systems for Precision Agriculture
IoT Systems for Precision Agriculture
The agribusiness sector is one of the fastest adopters of new technologies. The arrival of the 5th Generation of Mobile Networks (5G) has increased pressure for greater control over processes and automation of different stages of agro-industrial chains.
To achieve these goals, it is necessary to provide low-latency communication and high-capacity broadband. The degree of control promised by the integration of 5G network resources into precision agriculture processes requires that the various variables impacting production be monitored, and these parameters feed predictive systems to assist the producer in their decision-making process.
