Agriculture
Connect, compute, create intelligent farming operations
More yield from fewer resources – it’s an equation that farmers worldwide are looking to solve.
For many, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) will be the answer, by equipping agricultural operations with real-time data insights and control to enable more precise and efficient management of crops and livestock.
Infuse Intelligence into Your Ag Operations Today
Making the most of IIoT in agriculture means making sure all data from the field can be readily accessed and acted upon, no matter where it is remotely generated.
FreeWave has the solutions to power your precision farming systems, combining sensor data capture, IQ edge data processing, and network communications in the ways that meet your unique demands and enable you to easily uphold compliance as regulatory pressures rise.
