Ex² Technologya vitalityLLC Company, selected by Yuma County, Arizona, has built 27 tower structures to advance water conservation and precision agriculture efforts. This next-generation wireless infrastructure project will provide field-level broadband services to all six irrigation areas in Yuma County.
With 94% of that irrigated as the top 0.1% and 190,000 acres of farmland in all US counties in agricultural production, agriculture brings Yuma County $3.2 billion a year. During the comprehensive sourcing process, Yuma County searched for a trusted partner to modernize its communications network. Wireless infrastructure is needed to support not only advanced connectivity services for residents and businesses, but also key initiatives and industries such as precision agriculture, water conservation and sustainability.
“This infrastructure will serve as a catalyst for enabling smart irrigation systems, including remote soil sensing, automation, mechanization, and socioeconomic growth,” said Ian McGoggie, Yuma County Administrator. “Yuma County will position itself as a leader in agricultural technology and connectivity for years to come.”
“EX² Technology is honored to have been selected by Yuma County to create a transformative wireless infrastructure that connects farmers and communities while supporting other Yuma County industries.” “Through the partnership, we will provide solutions that address the needs of rural and urban areas and pave the way for economic expansion and technological advancement.”
