CommsXtend®

1 CommsXtend®

CommsXtend®

A ruggedised 4G-to-Wi-Fi router running Connected Farms’ own firmware, tuned to hold a connection in marginal signal rather than drop it. NTRIP Manager is built in for precision ag corrections. The firmware is the product - this isn’t a generic industrial router with a sticker on it.

Available as Vehicle, Machine, Remote, Remote Vehicle, and Grab & Go Kit configurations, each suited to a different setup, from a single ute to a header working in the most remote paddock on the property.

2 CommsXtend 5G

CommsXtend 5G

Modern machines are increasingly built assuming 5G exists. CommsXtend 5G puts a private 5G network inside the machine itself - a micro 5G radio and core that lets factory-fitted cellular modules on newer OEM equipment connect natively, with no retrofit and no workaround. NTRIP and data services run over the same link.

Built for

Built for operators running newer OEM machinery with native cellular, and fleets moving toward automation and robotics.

3 CommsXtend Edge

CommsXtend Edge

On-machine storage and compute, built on Qualcomm Dragonwing, for operations generating more data than the link can carry - imagery, sensor streams, autonomy and agronomy datasets. Edge captures and processes data at the machine, trickle-uploads over whatever connectivity is available, then offloads the rest in bulk at geolocated high-speed transfer points the machine already visits - refuelling, sheds, the yard. Your data gets there complete, even where the connection can’t carry it all in real time.

“The CommsXtend® solution from Connected Farms has given us the ability to make phone calls and load weather data on the go while spraying... We can now receive data from machines in real-time now rather than in big chunks every day or two.”

Will McCarthy - Chief Product Officer, SwarmFarm Robotics
“The CommsXtend® solution from Connected Farms has allowed us to have connectivity in areas where previously no connectivity was available. Now we are able to utilise connected digital technologies such as Agfiniti through our AgLeader screens on all machines, have remote access and remote support services.”

Scott Gladman, Farm Manager, Australia
