Venn Telecom and smart agriculture connectivity
There’s a perception food production is a basic business: the farmer in his field tending a flock. In reality, agribusiness is among the most technology-intensive sectors of all: data-rich and software-driven, with a great need for business-class bandwidth to aid decision-making. Here’s how Venn Telecom helps the world’s most vital industry.
Your market challenge: connectivity in agriculture
Obviously agriculture isn’t a city-centre activity. But it’s a lot broader than rural pastures, too. Farming today includes coastal cultivation, vast covered polytunnels, and offshore aquaculture as often as green fields. Success depends on keeping a plant, animal, or fish healthy – at a scale of thousands. And that means monitoring, collecting, and leveraging data in aggregate.
But farms are often far from civilisation. Which means wired connectivity isn’t common – and anyway, it’s impractical to wire up crops and creatures. Rural farms and remote agricultural sites often lack wired broadband infrastructure, making traditional internet solutions impractical. Meaning modern agribusiness is wireless all the way, from IoT sensors to intelligent applications and remote control. Let’s take a look into the business of farming … and how smart growers use wireless to feed the world.
The value we offer: advanced wireless solutions for agriculture
Agriculture is big business, and the Venn Telecom advantage starts with thinking at scale. Whether your operation involves hundreds of hectares or thousands of plants, we’ll see the Big Picture and how every IoT sensor and relay needs to connect to a hub or the cloud. Because we work with large-scale organisations complex connectivity needs every day.
What matters isn’t selling you hardware and software, but building the most effective solution. The right number of mobile provider eSIMs in each router; whether you need satellite backup for business continuity; burst capacity and data plans that match your patterns of usage. And we never forget your biggest challenges – distributed locations, legacy infrastructure, protection in harsh environments.
In brief, Venn Telecom doesn’t think of you as a business needing equipment, but as an agribusiness needing connectivity. With an eye – always – on your business goals.

An integrated solution for smart farming
Mobile and satellite can connect networks of IoT monitoring nodes in fields, barns, and ponds with strategically placed routers and antenna, ensuring constant connectivity even with thousands of data points in play 24/7.
Peplink routers for precision agriculture
Peplink routers integrate multiple technologies like cellular 4G/5G/LTE, WiFi, and LEO satellites in one device, letting you use cellular or satellite interchangeably without hassle.
Directional antennas for rural broadband
Directional antennas extend public mobile coverage to remote and rural terrain, giving open land or offshore nurseries a way to connect to cellphone networks in out-of-coverage areas.
Weatherproof connectivity solutions
Weatherproof and rugged device options mean the data keeps flowing in extremes of temperatures or humidity. It’s hardware that matches your conditions.
