Connected Farms deployed three CommsXtend® remote units into Eastern Colour's work utes, plus a mobile communications trailer, turning each vehicle into a mobile Wi-Fi hub with coverage that reaches even inside poly tunnels, where signal normally can't penetrate.
“Our location in Applethorpe is the black hole for any cellular service... Each of the three vehicles can now be used in the field as a point of connectivity. The range is impressive given we are working in poly tunnels,” says Narissa Corfe, Farmer, Eastern Colour.
RFID scanners now capture and send picking data instantly, supporting real-time yield analysis; teams stay in constant contact across every work zone; and the connectivity trailer can be redeployed anywhere on the property as needed. Eastern Colour reports faster data transfer, increased productivity, reduced downtime, and peace of mind for management.
