CNH strengthens global connectivity

“We’re glad to offer our customers access to satellite connectivity, enabling them to maximize the potential of our precision technology in even the most challenging rural environments,” said Stefano Pampalone, Agriculture Chief Commercial Officer at CNH.

“Starlink’s satellite network offers reliable, low-latency internet. This enables our machines to communicate and coordinate efficiently, enhancing productivity. It seamlessly integrates with our FieldOps digital platform, giving our customers visibility of their machines and providing data from anywhere, anytime. It also gives them greater data streaming capabilities by keeping their farm management devices consistently connected, regardless of location.

Prescription spraying is another use case where Starlink’s transmission technology will benefit farming operations. The lack of connectivity in a market such as Brazil, for example, can make farm logistics challenging. CNH’s FieldXplorer platform uses AI to transform drone images into a field map that distinguishes between weeds and crop. Starlink enables to export that data near instantaneously to create a prescription spraying map for the machine. This enables farmers to apply crop protection products sooner, controlling weeds earlier, which ultimately helps improve crop yields.
