A 200 billion market is in sight! 5G and smart agriculture are in love with each other

What do you think of when you mention agriculture? The farmers sweating profusely, the buffaloes working hard in the fields, or the golden harvest scene of wheat ears? In fact, with the development of agricultural modernization, the traditional agricultural farming model is gradually changing. The application of some new technologies and new equipment has enabled farmers to no longer "face the loess and back to the sky" and can also enjoy the rich harvest in autumn.

In recent years, agricultural production methods that integrate the Internet of Things, the Internet, cloud computing and other technologies and are deeply integrated with the agricultural field have become increasingly popular, and the development of smart agriculture has become increasingly mainstream around the world. In my country, a number of Internet giants and e-commerce companies have entered the smart agriculture market, such as Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, and JD.com. Thanks to the strong promotion of the state and enterprises, experts predict that the scale of my country's smart agriculture market is expected to exceed 200 billion yuan in 2020.

With the commercialization and popularization of 5G technology, the development of smart agriculture has also ushered in greater benefits. As we all know, 5G has three major advantages: high speed, large capacity, and low latency. It can enable existing networks to break through many bottlenecks and provide key support for the cultivation of new business formats in all walks of life. Therefore, 5G will bring important help to the development of smart agriculture.

5G helps smart agriculture

Compared with 4G networks, 5G will be more accurate. With the help of 5G networks, farmers and farmers can monitor and obtain key data such as soil and weather in real time when planting crops, and remotely control the intelligent irrigation system, so as to achieve the purpose of precise farming, timely fertilization, and reasonable irrigation, and promote the intelligent upgrade of the planting process.

During the growth process of crops, with the help of 5G technology, farmers and farmers can track the growth environment and growth conditions in real time, monitor the needs and changes of crops, and use remote commands to let relevant management systems or plant protection equipment perform irrigation, pest control, fertilization and other operations, realizing "unmanned management" and promoting the intelligent upgrade of the growth process.

When the harvest season comes, farmers and farmers no longer have to harvest crops by themselves, but can use automated machinery or smart devices and self-driving vehicles to complete the harvesting and transportation work. In this process, the support of 5G networks is particularly necessary, which can not only ensure the stable operation of equipment, but also improve the efficiency of related operations.

5G supports agricultural upgrading

As the saying goes, farmers depend on the weather for their livelihood. This statement fully illustrates the importance of weather conditions to agricultural production. Once affected by extreme weather or if the appropriate weather factors are not properly utilized, it will have a great impact on the growth and yield of crops. In addition, the weather will also have a significant impact on the transportation and storage of crops.

5G can play a significant role in weather monitoring, as monitoring weather conditions requires the deployment of a large number of sensors and monitoring systems, and 5G networks can significantly improve the ability to collect, transmit and analyze information, providing strong support for building a more accurate, timely and effective agricultural weather ecology.

In addition, by integrating with technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence, 5G allows farmers and farming households to make universal remote decisions, allowing more agricultural equipment to have intelligent capabilities such as autonomous decision-making, and making the links of the entire agricultural industry chain more in-depth and complete, thereby comprehensively improving the added value of agriculture and enabling the development of smart agriculture to have a brighter future.

Smart agriculture development feeds back to 5G

At present, the development of smart agriculture in my country is still in its early stages and still faces multiple challenges such as insufficient policy and financial support, lack of professional high-end talents, high prices of smart agricultural equipment, and restrictions on agricultural geographical environment factors. These challenges cannot be solved in the short term and can only be solved one by one in a targeted manner.

However, since smart agriculture has become the new normal in agriculture, its development trend will continue. In this context, the application of cutting-edge designs such as 5G can accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional agriculture to smart agriculture, thereby improving agricultural production efficiency and safety, and making greater contributions to balancing the food crisis that plagues mankind.

At the same time, the huge scale of the smart agriculture market will also bring important feedback value to the commercialization of 5G. At present, it is very important for 5G to have suitable application scenarios and a sufficiently deep market, and smart agriculture can play this key role. With in-depth applications in the field of smart agriculture, it will be helpful to lay an important foundation for the sustainable development of 5G.
