Extending the reach of drones in agriculture
From monitoring and maintaining the health of crops to tracking herds of cattle, drones are used in agriculture in a myriad of ways, as wide ranging as agricultural products themselves. Read how the Elsight Halo BVLOS connectivity platform can add huge value to the use of drones in agriculture.
Contact UsBVLOS Drone Connectivity for Soil and Crop Monitoring
Drones with BVLOS connectivity are super efficient tools for crop and soil monitoring. High-definition images taken from the air can then be used to create 3D images and 3D maps for analysis. These maps can then be used to create patterns for seed planting, manage irrigation levels, determine levels of nitrogen in the soil and track crop development as the season progresses. Elsight’s Halo increases the bandwidth for better uninterrupted video transmission and enables remote operations.

Drones are able to be equipped with high-powered multi-spectral sensors or thermal sensors which can be used to identify dry conditions in a field or crops which are unhealthy. Drones can then be used to accurately provide a precise amount of water or chemicals to the location in order to remedy the situation. Another advantage to using drones, beyond their accuracy, is that targeted application reduces the amount of chemicals being introduced into the groundwater.

High-definition images taken by drone can determine if crops are being impacted by bacteria, disease or pest invasions. The earlier these are detected, the more farmers are able to apply remedies to the impacted crops, possible saving the entire crop from being destroyed. Elsight’s Halo offers higher bandwidth for improved continuous video transmission and enables remote operations.
Contact UsBVLOS Drone Connectivity for Herd Management
High-resolution photos taken with drones can help keep track of herds, allowing farmers to track movements, conduct accurate stock counts and identify areas of concern. Elsight’s Halo enables more precise data collection and operating a full fleet remotely.
Contact UsBVLOS Drone Connectivity for Seeding
By utilizing drones with BVLOS connectivity, farmers can ensure that the seeds and nutrients required for germination are placed in exactly the right location. This provides a double benefit, increasing the planting quantity and providing a significant reduction in costs over human planting. Elsight’s Halo offers continuous connection for more precision execution and remote operations.
