On Farm Private LTE (4G and 5G) Connectivity Guide
Your plain-English Guide to understanding when a private mobile network makes sense, what it can do, and why proper planning matters.
Private LTE or 4G can give reliable, farm-wide coverage across the paddocks and work areas that matter most when it is properly engineered for the property, but it is not the cheapest option and should be chosen where the business case is strong.
Private 5G needs more user equipment (so your tractor modems etc.) to be 5G compatible however the available spectrum (radio waves) make its use best suited for very high-speed data transfer in a localized area – for example when a drone returns and needs to offload its high-resolution imagery.
