In agriculture, precision is key. Farmers need to know exactly where to plant their crops, how much fertilizer to apply, and when to harvest for optimal yields. With Premium Positioning’s RTK network, farmers can achieve the accuracy and dependability required for these tasks. Our network provides centimeter-level accuracy, allowing farmers to make precise decisions in their operations. This means they can plant and harvest crops with greater efficiency, apply fertilizers and pesticides with greater accuracy, and monitor soil moisture and crop health with greater precision.

When it comes to positioning data, we at Premium Positioning are aware of how important accuracy and dependability are. Because of this, our RTK network provides centimeter-level accuracy, enabling our users to make accurate operational decisions. Because of our network’s outstanding 99.9% uptime, consumers can always rely on their positional information. With over 1,000 base stations and 10,000 users across Europe, our network is also very expandable.Â
For organizations of all sizes, its user-friendly features, like real-time data visualization and remote help, make it a practical and effective option. Our RTK network offers the accuracy and dependability required for these industries to grow, making it suitable for precision agriculture, construction, and surveying applications, as well as other industries that require highly accurate positioning data such as mining, forestry, and transportation.
IoT smart farming solutions can monitor the crops in a field with the help of sensors (light, humidity, temperature, soil moisture, crop health, etc.) and automate the irrigation system. They can also select between manual and automated options for taking necessary actions based on this data. For example, if the soil moisture level decreases, the farmer can deploy sensors to start the irrigation. What’s more, the farmers can monitor the field conditions from anywhere.Â
Crops need fertile soil with a balanced level of minerals and frequent watering for optimal growth. By knowing the level of moisture and nutrients already in the ground, farmers can coordinate fieldwork and distribute resources with as little waste as possible.
Limited availability of natural resources such as fresh water and arable land means farmers need to act sustainably. Soil moisture data is becoming a key component of sustainable farming programmes as producers contend with increasingly erratic weather patterns. Measuring moisture conditions in their fields helps farmers to maintain soil health, improve water conservation, and increase yield.
Many farmers fear that the sheer landmass and rural nature of their activities make connectivity unsuitable. Common concerns around poor quality and patchy coverage are often touted as barriers to adoption. Low power wide area networks [LPWAN] such as NB-IoT and LTE-M will be really beneficial for this. They are often accessible in areas where 2G and 3G aren’t available.
