Company Details:

• Industry: Agriculture & IoT
• Location: Based in Vienna, Austria, serving Central and Eastern Europe

The Challenge:

This agricultural technology company set out to help farmers in remote regions of Europe adopt IoT (Internet of Things) technology to optimise crop management and increase agricultural productivity. Their aim was to modernise traditional farming practices by introducing automated systems for monitoring soil conditions, irrigation needs, and crop health in real time.

The Problem:

Many rural agricultural regions in Central and Eastern Europe, including areas in Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania, suffered from a lack of adequate internet infrastructure, making it difficult to deploy IoT devices. The lack of reliable connectivity led to inefficiencies in farming operations, limiting farmers’ ability to use data-driven strategies for crop management.

The Solution:

The company partnered with Brdy to bring satellite broadband connectivity to rural farms across Europe. Leveraging our network, the company successfully deployed IoT sensors and automation systems across vast tracts of farmland, enabling farmers to monitor and manage their crops in even the most isolated regions.

The Impact:

By integrating IoT devices and satellite broadband, farmers in rural Austria, Slovakia, and Romania have seen remarkable improvements in crop management. Automated systems have enabled better control of irrigation, soil moisture levels, and pest monitoring, leading to more efficient use of water and a significant reduction in crop loss.

The Result:

Since the introduction of IoT technology, more than 5,000 farmers in Central and Eastern Europe have adopted precision farming methods, resulting in a 25% increase in crop yields and a 15% reduction in water use. By bringing modern technology to traditionally underserved regions, the company has empowered farmers to optimise their operations, improving both sustainability and productivity.
