Options for a connected northern beef industry
The infrastructure costs in providing communications to emerging AgTech devices are seen as prohibitive due to the extent of infrastructure needed to cover the size of properties across northern Australia. For many property owners, it is difficult to justify the business case with a lack of proven returns on new technology across such a large scale. However, future technologies promise significant improvement for on-farm connectivity.
Join Nigel Tomkins (MLA), Bryce Leedham (GHD Digital), Steve Drury (NAPCO) and Alana Boulton (MLA) when they explore the current connectivity opportunities (in Australia) that provide best returns on effort and investment in this recorded webinar.
