CNH has entered into a partnership with Starlink, a SpaceX company, to deliver top-tier satellite connectivity to farmers across the globe. This alliance will benefit users of CNH’s brands—Case IH, New Holland, and STEYR—by offering strong, cost-effective, high-speed internet access. The goal is to fully enable connected fleet operations, even in isolated rural areas.
“We’re excited to bring this advanced satellite connectivity to our customers, allowing them to harness the full power of our precision technology—even in remote farming regions,” said Stefano Pampalone, Chief Commercial Officer for Agriculture at CNH.
Enhancing Precision Agriculture with Starlink
Starlink’s cutting-edge satellite system provides stable, low-latency internet, empowering smart agricultural machines to operate and interact more effectively. This boosts overall productivity and crop performance. The system is fully compatible with CNH’s FieldOps™ platform, offering real-time machine visibility and access to operational data from any location. Continuous connectivity also enhances data transmission, ensuring farm management tools remain online wherever they are used.
One standout example is prescription spraying. In regions like Brazil, where internet access can be limited, logistical challenges can delay critical fieldwork. CNH’s FieldXplorer platform leverages AI to analyze drone imagery and generate detailed field maps distinguishing crops from weeds. With Starlink’s rapid data transmission, these maps can be uploaded almost instantly to guide precision spraying equipment. This allows for earlier application of crop protection products, leading to better weed control and potentially higher yields.
This strategic collaboration highlights CNH’s commitment to delivering dependable, agriculture-focused solutions while advancing the power of precision technology—no matter where farmers operate.
