FARM AND VINEYARD MONITORING AND CONTROL
WITH THE GLOBAL DEMAND FOR FOOD INCREASING EXPONENTIALLY FARMERS ARE TURNING MORE AND MORE TO TECHNOLOGY TO MAXIMISE THE EFFICENCY OF THEIR PRODUCTION TO COPE WITH THIS DEMAND.
GME AUSTRALIA THE LEADER IN COMMUNICATIONS HAS IDENTIFIED THIS AND PRODUCED SOLUTIONS THAT ALLOW THE FARMER TO NOT ONLY COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY ACROSS THE WHOLE PROPERTY BUT ALSO TO CONTROL AND MONITOR VITAL FUNCTIONS TOO.
FOR EXAMPLE WITH GME'S TELEMETRY SYSTEM YOU CAN MONITOR AND CONTROL IRRIGATION,FROST CONTROL AND SECURITY ON UP TO 99 SEPARATE LOCATIONS ACROSS THE WHOLE FARM FROM YOUR OFFICE WIRELESSLY.
THESE SYSTEMS ARE QUITE ECONOMIC TO INSTALL AND REPRESENT A HUGE SAVING IN TIME AND ALLOWS REALTIME MANAGEMENT WITHOUT EXTENSIVE WIRING RUNS AND COMPLEX CONTROL SYSTEMS.
LONG RANGE RADIO COMMUNICATIONS
WITH THE SIZE AND TERRAIN THAT MANY OF THE FARMERS IN NEW ZEALAND OPERATE IN IT CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN CONTACT ACROSS THE WHOLE FARM USING EITHER CELL PHONES OR BASIC SIMPLEX RADIOS.
LANDCOM ONE OF THE LEADERS IN 2 WAY COMMUNICATIONS HAVE DESIGNED A SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS THAT TO BE POSSIBLE AT A LOW COST IN COMPARISON TO OTHERS IN THE INDUSTRY.
USING A GME RADIO REPEATER AND A HIGH LOCATON ON THE PROPERTY WE ARE ABLE TO ACHIEVE HANDHELD R/T RADIO RANGE OF OVER 35KM AND COVERAGE IN GULLYS AND OTHER DIFFICULT RADIO AREAS.
THE BENEFIT TO THE FARMER IS HE CAN STAY IN CONTACT WITH STAFF THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE FARM ALLOWING AN EFFICENT AND SAFE OPERATION WITH VERY LITTLE COST.
THE REPEATER SYSTEM BEGINS WITH A GME RADIO REPEATER ATTACHED TO ANTENNAS ON A MAST AND USING SOLAR POWER AND BATTERIES IN REMOTE LOCATIONS.
THE REPEATER CAN EITHER BE ASSEMBLED COMPLETELY ON SITE BY US OR PREWIRED.
