5G Experience at SLC Agrícola’s Farm is featured in Folha de São Paulo
Once again, SLC Agrícola was featured in the national media for its innovation. Last week, the experience of using 5G technology at Fazenda Pamplona one of the properties of SLC Agrícola, in the city of Cristalina (GO), was highlighted in a special article by the Folha de SP newspaper. In the publication, João Aranda, SLC's Infrastructure, Governance and IT Services manager, explains that the technology at Fazenda Pamplona is still used on an experimental basis, but that the intention is to monitor using robots, with automated planting and harvesting.
For the pilot project, Claro and Embratel joined SLC Agrícola to focus on the development of use cases with 5G Standalone to meet the specific needs of rural producers. The idea is to use SLC´s operations as a basis for formatting products and services that will be created together by the innovation teams of the companies involved, exploring all the potential that 5G offers to the business.
The project provides for the integration of new sensors and drones into the machinery to expand analytical capacity regarding production. For this, Claro and Embratel, using Huawei's 5G Standalone access network and mobile core, illuminated Fazenda Pamplona, with a 5G Standalone (SA) network that operates in the 3.5GHz band, with 100 MHZ bandwidth. The implemented 5G network uses an experimental license granted by Anatel.
This combination of efforts should generate several fruits for the sector. The first of these will be the use of 5G Standalone (SA) for the instant transmission of hundreds of high resolution images, which can be collected in the field and processed in record time so that producers can react quickly in combating pests, for example.
The integration of new sensors and drones into high-tech machinery, already used today, expands opportunities to increase productivity and work under more sustainable conditions, reducing the use of natural resources, such as energy and water, and using pesticides more strategically and in a lesser volume, one of the main objectives of the producer.
Together, the companies expect the pilot project at Fazenda Pamplona to demonstrate the feasibility of technologies focused on automation and robotics, in addition to the use of high resolution images in agribusiness. "Our expectation is that the advantages of low latency and real-time processing of 5G allow the use of cloud algorithms and artificial intelligence, providing gains in operational efficiency and productivity on our farms”, says João Aranda.
