Role of 5G and 6G Technology in Precision Agriculture

Smart farming and precision agriculture rely on the different components of IoT, such as sensors, drones, and robotic devices. IoT in agriculture is the network of interconnected devices that corresponds in real time, simultaneously, to gather, analyze, and transfer the data, which, ultimately, generate a decision to be taken by the farmer. The availability of the 4G/3G does not support the precision practices in real time due to the bandwidth, connectivity, and the speed of data-transfer issues. Further, 5G technology in the agricultural sector has put its greater influence in real-time monitoring, unmanned aerial vehicles, virtual consultation and predictive maintenance, artificially intelligent robotics, and data analytics and cloud repositories. Conclusively, the speed, connectivity, scalability and processing power, and limitations can be overcome with the availability of 5G structures.
