Many farmers in South Africa will tell you they have cellular coverage at their main road and for one to two kilometres once turning off into the farm proper.
Thereafter their signal is weak or non existing. This is a major concern and a hurdle for them.
Assistance from networks is not very forthcoming – it can be understood as it is expensive to provide network to a an individual whereas the network could be creating far more revenue supplying network to a large informal settlement in the same vicinity.
A visit to NAMPO causes the one to realise to what extent technology has developed wrt farming methods & implements. GPS, cellular and telemetry are technologies used for soil analyses, planning, pumping, irrigating, soil preparation to harvesting and getting produce to the market. These are not effectively possible without connectivity.
The farmer is a graduated person requiring internet access for marketing, ordering, banking and communication. His future, his survival, his success can not be hampered or determined by whether a network operator can assist him or not. He implements at his own cost using his own initiative to addresses and overcome this problem.
We at SD Experts understand and assist the farmer with know-how and qualified artisans and top-class equipment that will legally provide coverage of the cellular network and the internet.
This enables not only him (as would a satellite or radio device) but his also his whole family, as well as his employees to have access to a better life and technology via wireless mobile and internet affording personal freedom to communication.
