Viasat’s irrigation and water management solutions help you remotely monitor and automate irrigation systems, optimizing yields and conserving resources wherever your farm is located.

The challenge

In farming, every drop of water counts, and precise water management is crucial for optimal yields. Water management and irrigation events scheduling are key, but they can’t be done properly without access to the right data at the right time.  To help overcome this challenge, we're transforming how you manage water on your farms, providing tools for data-driven irrigation scheduling to optimize yields and conserve resources.

Our solution

Our solution simplifies irrigation and water management, allowing remote monitoring and automation of irrigation systems to give you complete control to make every drop of water count. With global connectivity and partner support, we provide remote visibility and control, saving you time and money by reducing the need for physical field visits.

Utilizing cutting-edge sensor technologies to measure soil moisture and provide field-level weather data, enabling faster, more informed decisions, our satelite solutions can easily integrate with any irrigation system, offering complete water management control for optimizing crop yield, conserving water, and complying with regulatory standards.

Connectivity services

To ensure you have the data when you need it most, we connect sensors out in the field to applications through our highly reliable IoT Direct, IoT Nano, IoT Select, and IoT Pro services on our L-band satellite network, offering up to 99.9% network availability. This means the system is designed to work even without terrestrial connectivity, giving you access to the right data, at the right time, no matter where you are. 

Benefits

  • Improve yield and quality: Our solution uses real-time data on soil moisture and field weather conditions, helping you apply the right amount of water according to crop need.
  • Optimize labor resources: Access all the information you need to manage your irrigation remotely, saving you from deploying people to manually monitor fields.
  • Reduce nutrient losses and pollution: By having the right data, you will know exactly when you do or don’t need to irrigate.

Features

  • Real-time alerts: By actively monitoring field conditions in real-time, our solution will alert you to key changes so that you can respond accordingly.
  • Global coverage: Reliable, global coverage with 99.9% network availability through our L-band satellite network, ensuring you’re always connected.
  • Compatibility: Our solution is compatible with all soil types and crops, giving you the flexibility to choose the sensors that work best for you.
