Meshmerize provides a reliable mesh network that seamlessly connects machinery, ensuring uninterrupted harvesting and other agri operations.
Smart Agriculture Connectivity
Non-stop connectivity for seamless agri operations
The evolution of agriculture towards technology-driven methods highlights the critical need for dependable connectivity.
Key Challenges
-
Farm machinery needs reliable connectivity for continuous operation.
-
Seamless network integration is essential for sustainable and efficient farming.
-
Radio shadows cause significant operational delays.
-
Limited 4G/5G access and challenging landscapes impede technology deployment.
-
Setting up wide network coverage on large farms is cost-prohibitive.
Meshmerize transforms farm connectivity by establishing a self-configuring network that links leader-follower agri systems, tractors, sensors and other harvesting equipment. This minimizes the need for traditional networks, while cutting costs and boosting reliability drastically.
Advantages
-
Range extension with peer-to-peer networks by turning machines into APs.
-
Mitigating network blind spots and enabling graceful network entry and exit.
-
Facilitates <1 second reconnection times for non-stop agricultural operations.
-
Boosted M2M communication, compliant with the IEEE 802.11p standard and carrying CAN-BUS traffic.
-
Network management made convenient and easy with Hive.
