CNH, a global leader in agricultural technology, has recently expanded its network coverage in Argentina through a strategic partnership with Telecom Argentina. This collaboration extends connectivity to nearly 15 million hectares of farmland, with a focus on enhancing agricultural productivity and efficiency in key regions such as Pergamino and Rojas. These areas, known for their significant contributions to Argentina’s agricultural production, were previously facing challenges due to inadequate network coverage.
By leveraging Telecom Argentina’s network infrastructure, CNH is ensuring that farmers in these crucial regions have access to cutting-edge precision technologies. These technologies, including remote sensing, monitoring, and smart irrigation systems, play a vital role in optimizing farm operations, automating tasks, and conserving resources such as water. With 4G network connectivity and digital services now reaching 500,000 hectares in the province of Buenos Aires, CNH is empowering farmers with the tools they need to thrive in an increasingly digital agricultural landscape.
In Brazil, CNH’s collaboration with TIM, the country’s leading mobile network provider, is also making significant strides in advancing connectivity across the agricultural sector. Through initiatives such as the ConectarAGRO association, CNH and TIM are extending connectivity to over 14 million hectares, benefiting more than one million individuals in 13 states. The establishment of the Fazenda Conectada (Connected Farm) in Água Boa, Mato Grosso further demonstrates CNH’s commitment to showcasing the transformative power of connectivity in agriculture.
One of the innovative approaches employed by CNH in regions with limited cellular access is the ‘Bring Your Own Connectivity (BYOC)’ model. This approach allows farmers to connect to the internet using any available network, hotspot, satellite, cell tower, or Wi-Fi, ensuring seamless connectivity even in areas with network challenges. By enabling machines to switch between multiple access points automatically, CNH is providing farmers with uninterrupted connectivity, eliminating concerns about signal drops or dead zones within their fields.
The implications of CNH’s expanding network coverage and digital services are far-reaching. By bridging the digital divide in rural areas and bringing advanced technologies to farmers’ fingertips, CNH is not only enhancing productivity and efficiency but also driving sustainable agricultural practices. Access to real-time data, monitoring systems, and precision agriculture tools empowers farmers to make informed decisions, optimize resource utilization, and ultimately improve crop yields.
In conclusion, CNH’s partnerships with leading network providers in Argentina and Brazil underscore its commitment to revolutionizing the agricultural sector through connectivity and digital innovation. By bringing connectivity to millions of hectares of farmland and demonstrating the transformative potential of digital technologies, CNH is paving the way for a more efficient, sustainable, and productive agricultural future.
