Wyld Networks partners with leading Canadian agricultural company UKKO Agro to implement Wyld Connect in Brazil
Virtual satellite operator Wyld Networks will deliver satellite IoT data for UKKO Agro, initially in Brazil to bring the work of agricultural research to agroinput retailers, farmers, agronomists and agricultural consultants working on data research.
UKKO Agro's vision is to connect every action on the farm to its financial performance, enabling retailers and farmers to make more informed and data-driven decisions.
UKKO Agro is a leading agrotechnology company, dedicated to providing customised, integrated and actionable insights from digitised hectares to agricultural retailers and their grower customers.
UKKO Agro's proprietary Field-Adapted and Integrated Modelling (F.A.I.M) Platform - ForeSite™ - delivers field-specific information up to 14 days in advance and suggests where and when to use high-value insecticides and fungicides.
ForeSite™ uses sophisticated digital data collection and staking technology, proprietary algorithms, and modeling to mitigate risk and help farmers get the highest return possible from their staking investments. Data collection is limited by connectivity issues across large parts of Brazil's agricultural land. Wyld Networks will provide sensor-to-satellite connectivity capability to enable UKKO Agro to collect data in remote locations.
We are excited to begin this important partnership with UKKO Agro, a leading data-driven agrotech company with global reach," said Alastair Williamson. "Wyld Networks will initially connect IoT data via satellites in low orbit to drive decision-making in Brazilian agriculture."
