The Connected Agriculture stack
One Integrated Stack of Products
Connected Farms owns the entire path from machine to cloud - the SIM and radio, the compute on the machine, the network the farm runs on, and the platform above it all. That's the difference between a farm that reports and a farm that runs on real time.
-
Layer 1 - Cellular: Reliable cellular coverage, engineered for the field.
High-Gain Antennas extend usable signal range in marginal-coverage areas, paired with Dynamic Roaming SIMs that roam across every available mobile network and switch based on live signal strength and availability - not a fixed preferred-carrier order. Instead of inheriting one carrier’s black spots, you inherit the best of all of them.
-
Layer 2 - Machine: Purpose-built, proprietary connectivity and compute on the machine.
CommsXtend® is the ruggedised router that holds connectivity in marginal signal and manages NTRIP corrections for precision ag.
CommsXtend 5G embeds a private 5G network inside the machine itself, so factory-fitted cellular modules on newer equipment connect the way they were designed to - no retrofit.
CommsXtend Edge adds on-machine storage and compute, so data is captured in full and offloaded in bulk when the machine passes a high-speed transfer point, rather than being throttled by a live link.
Amazon Leo brings enterprise-grade LEO satellite coverage to the places terrestrial networks will never reach, selected for uplink performance and AWS-backed security.
Starlink is available as a second satellite backhaul option at the machine layer, extending the same automatic-failover coverage wherever mobile coverage doesn’t reach.
-
Layer 3 - Infrastructure: Full-stack network infrastructure, engineered for scale.
FarmHub is a modular edge datacentre sited on the farm, making the property itself a processing point rather than just a data source.
Private 4G/5G and Wi-Fi and LoRaWAN cover the private cellular, enterprise Wi-Fi, and industrial-grade IoT networks that a farm builds and owns outright.
-
Layer 4 - Intelligence: Visibility, uptime and clean data across the operation.
CommsXtend IQ gives live visibility of the infrastructure your operation runs on - connectivity health, data movement, machine uptime and network telemetry, across every brand of machine. It isn’t a farm management system: it’s the layer beneath those platforms, feeding clean, complete data into whatever you already run - John Deere Operations Center, CLAAS connect, Ag Leader AgFiniti, or others.
