As precision agriculture practices continue to grow, the complete automation of private and corporate farms are becoming increasingly prevalent. FreeWave’s wireless spread spectrum radios can be used for a variety of applications in precision agriculture and irrigation including, communication to and from the pivot to the farm to check moisture and temperature sensors, chemical soil samples, wind speed for the best time to water, pivot location, and pump power usage. Additionally, with FreeWave, the farm can remotely operate the pivot system, report and view status changes, and see the remote sensors’ status. With sophisticated pivot irrigation systems and smart agriculture practices on the rise, FreeWave radios offer an automation solution that enhances field communication and saves fuel, fertilizer and pesticide costs.
FreeWave radios are being used for the following applications within agriculture:
• Precision steering and guidance
• Irrigation
• Fertilizer and pesticide application
• Feedlot controls
