Victorian Govt searches for “cutting-edge” IoT agtech – ARN
The move is designed to support on-farm IoT trials which will run in key agricultural areas, covering Victoria’s major agriculture sectors of dairy, broad-acre cropping, meat production and horticulture.
According to the government, the goal of the trials is to investigate issues from the network level all the way through to end-user devices and machinery on-farm.
Initially this will happen around the four trial regions – around Maffra, Tatura, Serpentine and Birchip – to provide the connectivity needed to enable the use of on-farm IoT solutions, which is part of the The Connecting Regional Communities program, which received a $12 million fund in February for the trials.
