Trilogy Networks digitizes farms with real-time AI and IoT data platform
Trilogy Networks provides FarmGrid, a digital agriculture platform built on Azure, which solves the 'last acre' connectivity challenge with private 5G, integrates diverse IoT sensors, and leverages AI for real-time farm automation and data insights. The platform unifies data across extensive sensors for ground and air, delivering actionable in-field data such as weather, soil, crop health, and cattle health. FarmGrid supports a range of farm environments, from row crops to orchards and dairy, offering automation and autonomy solutions. The managed platform includes FarmVault, a secure cloud data store under the grower’s control, and a partner ecosystem delivering ready-to-deploy farm solutions. The use of Azure private MEC 5G enables edge computing and low-latency operations for autonomous devices. FarmGrid enhances operational efficiency, supports digital transformation across small and large farms, and enables a collaborative data-driven ecosystem.
