“Deploying fully autonomous solutions is the key to increasing farmer productivity in Australia and New Zealand,” said Chris Clifford, CEO at Agri Automation. “The robotic vehicle solutions that Agri Automation sells and supports require reliable RTK fix. Prior to GEODNET, this has not been easy to achieve in rural Australia and New Zealand. GEODNET provides us with a flexible and affordable solution to deploy our robots reliably.”
“The GEODNET Foundation is proud to have supported Agri Automation with a reliable RTK service at numerous farms in Australia and New Zealand. Affordable automated agriculture is a major focus area for GEODNET, and it serves as another proof point of the practical power of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN),” said Mike Horton, Project Creator at GEODNET.
