About Us
Twenty Years Solving Connectivity Where No One Else Would Go
Connected Farms grew out of nearly two decades building telecommunications infrastructure in places nobody else wanted to go - remote farms, emergency service sites, helicopter-accessed towers in the Scottish Highlands.
What we kept hearing from farmers was always some version of the same thing: the tools exist, the ambition exists, but the connectivity isn’t there when or where it’s needed.
Who We Are
We're the leading name in agricultural connectivity, not as a farming company, but as a team that came to agriculture sideways, through remote telecommunications builds, and stayed because we kept seeing the same problem nobody had properly solved: incredible machines, smart operators, and genuinely motivated farm businesses held back by a network layer that was never designed for them.
The big carriers have always been honest about it - coverage over farmland is, in their words, "fortuitous at best." It was never going to change on its own, so we leaned in and went deep.
Today we operate across Australia, New Zealand, North America and the UK, working with OEMs, robotics and autonomy companies, large-scale agribusiness operations, and everyday farmers, and we’re building towards Canada, South America and Europe through 2027.
The Gap We Exist To Close
Modern farming businesses have genuine digital ambition - guidance systems, precision agronomy, automation, machine telematics, data platforms. The challenge was never a lack of will or capital. It’s that the connectivity layer underneath all of it is missing in the places it matters most.
The consequences are real and expensive: machines and robots losing connectivity mid-operation, data queued until a tractor gets back to the yard, guidance drift, overlap, wasted inputs, decisions delayed by hours or days that should take seconds. And operators working long shifts in remote paddocks can feel genuinely cut off from their families, their support teams, the world.
"Before, I'd lose hours every night catching up on paperwork because I couldn't get a signal on the farm. Now, I can send everything straight away and be available to my clients, no matter where I am. It's made a huge difference for my business and my family life."
Carl Tairua, Owner Operator, Canterbury Ultrasound, New Zealand
Built From The Ground Up
The conviction that the connectivity problem in agriculture has to be solved at the machine, not worked around from the outside, became the foundation of what we now call the Connected Agriculture Stack: four connected layers, from the cellular network a farm uses, through the machine itself, to the infrastructure a farm owns, up to the intelligence it all produces.
Every layer is built from the ground up for agriculture, not repurposed consumer technology, designed for the extreme weather, dust, vibration and constant movement of a working fleet.
Connectivity has become as critical to modern machinery as fuel and hydraulics. Solving it at the machine layer, before the machine or robot ever leaves the factory, means every unit arrives ready to create its own reliable coverage zone, on any farm, anywhere.

Our Amazon Leo
Collaboration

November 2025
In November 2025, we partnered with Amazon Leo as a global agriculture partner, building on our own experience as the first to put satellite connectivity on farm machinery at commercial scale. Amazon Leo brings high-throughput, low-latency connectivity, cloud-grade security, and the global infrastructure to make machine-level connectivity repeatable anywhere, even with no terrestrial coverage.
