The Foundation for Your Farm’s Technology

A pyramid with four blocks to describe Orbit's service levels. At the bottom is internet connectivity - the foundation. Then security & safety, communication & collaboration, and production & integration are the following blocks that stack up.

Many farms are facing a wide range of IT challenges due to limitations of their existing, aging infrastructure. Although technology upgrades can benefit farmers seeking increased production and yields, they can also come with complexity, confusion, and integration issues.

The foundation of your farm’s technological future is a secure, reliable internet connection. Is your farm struggling with any of the following?

  • Intermittent internet access: Your farm’s internet connectivity is unreliable and your workers can lose access any time of the day.
  • Limited connectivity range: The internet connection gets weaker the further it travels from the main office – very common. Internet connectivity in the barns is also challenging or nonexistent.
  • Communication problems: Applications that communicate using the internet are choppy, easily disconnected, or slow to send data.

Connectivity Where You Use It
