Self Connectivity Assessment
What Is Your Farm's Current Connectivity Status?
Use this On-Farm Connectivity Assessment to understand the current connectivity levels on your farm and the existing connectivity obstacles. Plus, explore solutions that align with the unique demands of your farming operation.
What Best Describes Your On-Farm Connectivity?
The Black Spots
Very Poor or No Connectivity
Farms falling into this category grapple with the challenge of poor or non-existent connectivity. Large portions of the land are devoid of any communication signals, making it impossible to make calls, use data in the field, or fully integrate precision ag technologies.
- ? Zero Connectivity Are you unable to establish any form of connectivity on significant portions of your farm?
- ? Call Dropouts Do you experience complete call dropouts or struggle to make calls consistently or at all?
- ? Precision ag tech Do you have limited ability to adopt precision ag tech on your farm due to your lack of connectivity?
If you answered yes to most or all of the questions above: your farm experiences Very Poor or No Connectivity.
Recommended Solutions for Poor or No Connectivity
-
LEO Satellite Backhaul (Satellite-on-the-Move) Offers a reliable connection on the go, even in the most isolated areas.
- Private 4G/5G Farm Network Infrastructure Establish a dedicated network for more consistent and reliable coverage.
Salt and Pepper Connectivity
Patchy Connectivity
Farms in this category face the challenge of ‘salt and pepper’ connectivity. Some areas may receive coverage from one operator, while others may rely on a different one, leading to inconsistent connectivity with holes or gaps where there is nothing. This results in frequent dropouts during calls, unreliable data usage in your fields, time wastage, and limitations in precision ag capabilities.
- ? Inconsistent Coverage Do you experience patchy coverage or coverage inconsistencies across your farm from different (or one) mobile network operator? Are there gaps where some parts of your farm receive very limited or no coverage?
- ? Call Dropouts Are you plagued by frequent call dropouts and unreliable data connectivity?
- ? Precision ag tech Do you have limited ability to adopt precision ag tech due to patchy connectivity, or are you unable to use your precision ag tech's full capabilities because of it?
If you answered yes to most or all of the questions above, your farm experiences Salt and Pepper Connectivity.
Recommended Solutions for Patchy Connectivity
- CommsXtend® Mitigates patchy coverage issues, enhancing and extending your existing connectivity, and works dynamically on any network.

LEO Satellite Backhaul (Satellite-on-the-Move) Offers a reliable connection on the go, even in the most isolated areas.
- Private 4G/5G Farm Network Infrastructure Establish a dedicated network for more consistent and reliable coverage.
Sometimes Good, Sometimes Bad
Unreliable Connectivity
Farms in this category sometimes boast good connectivity, with reliable calls, data use and precision ag usage extending seamlessly across their entire land, but frustratingly other times even making phone calls isn't possible. This creates a disrupted communication and data usage experience.
- ? Unreliable Connectivity Does your farm sometimes enjoy consistent and reliable data across your farm but other times it does not?
- ? Call Dropouts Can you sometimes make calls without dropouts or interruptions across your whole farm, but other times experience dropouts and interruptions?
- ? Precision ag tech Does your farm have reliable connectivity to use precision ag and its capabilities across all your paddocks/land, but other times it does not?
If you answered yes to most or all of the questions above: your farm experiences Unreliable Connectivity.
