Briefing
  • Autonomous Irrigation System – Solution set up by WaterBit and AT&T using highly-secure connectivity, monitoring field’s water status to help farmers increase produce and conserve resources
  • Cloud-Based Software – WaterBit’s in-field data collection lets farmers monitor soil moisture, as well as plan and control irrigation with accuracy, by sending data to one central gateway that is connected to automated water valves
  • AT&T Network – Gateway hub uses AT&T’s global SIM card and IoT Control Center to safely send data to cloud, updating data every 15 minutes
  • Current Status – Expected to grow significantly in next few years, as participating farmers recognize solution's ease of use, though still in early stages
