FARMERS are battling to gain access to the mobile and fixed broadband
connectivity they need to tap into the global digital agricultural revolution.
The revolution promises to change the face of agriculture, allowing farmers to
shift their focus from managing paddocks and herds down to square metres and
individual animals.

number and size of files being uploaded and downloaded from farm machinery
platforms will increase dramatically.”
