Partner story
Farmbot Monitoring Solutions is an Australian agritech company specialising in remote monitoring solutions. The American arm of the company is called Ranchbot and has been rapidly growing in the United States. The company has grown significantly over the past few years, and its core water monitoring solutions have become the new gold standard of real-time remote monitoring.
Its sensors connecting to the unit generate real-time alerts, trends analysis and actionable insights on water ecosystems and farm infrastructure via Farmbot's proprietary algorithms.
This ensures farmers can use innovative IoT solutions to remotely monitor their operations and control pumps and machinery in real time.
Unreliable connectivity on terrestrial networks has previously been a barrier to technology adoption on remote farms – two-way satellite communications is a game changer. When paired with a satcom service such as Viasat's IoT Pro, vital IoT data can arrive faster at its destination – with significantly lower latency and cost to customers.
