June 8, 2023 | Businesswire |
Hawk Networks and RuralUrban Labs have formed a partnership to establish a 5G Zone and "HardTech" Autonomous Agriculture Testbed in Camden, Indiana. The initiative aims to bring high-speed broadband internet to the area and power the development of next-generation automated farm equipment and machinery. Hawk Networks will use its Althea platform and KeyLTE™ technology to provide farm-wide connectivity at a fraction of the cost of legacy cellular networks. This will enable the deployment of innovative AgTech, autonomous, and artificial intelligence solutions on Camden's 500 Acre 5G Farm, including the RuralUrban Labs' "5G Farm - Carbon Sequestration Testbed."
The collaboration not only focuses on technological advancements but also aims to enhance the educational opportunities of local high school students through 21st-century internship programs and other socially focused engagements. By combining resources and expertise, Hawk Networks and RuralUrban Labs seek to revolutionize agriculture practices and drive economic growth in the region.
