The access problem

Autosteer and prescriptions have existed for decades. What stops farms is one bar at the field edge and an RTK base forty miles away.

A prescription loaded in the shop is useless if the cab can't pull the update at 6 AM. FarmLink fixes the infrastructure.

How we build coverage

No RTK base nearby? We install one at the shop, bin site, or farmstead, on the same trip as a SoilOptix scan or a FarmDefender commissioning visit.

No internet at the site? Starlink or LTE feeds the base station too, not just the cab.

Why a local base matters:

  • Lower latency, faster convergence, steadier line hold on headland turns
  • No vendor outage to wait on. You own the signal.

What FarmLink does

  • LTE or Starlink, matched to the coverage you actually have
  • NTRIP RTK to any receiver with NTRIP input
  • Consoles, laptops, and FarmDefender cameras share the link over Ethernet or Wi-Fi

Pricing

Month to month. A seeder runs six weeks, so pay for the months it's connected and turn it off after.

A straight number.
Tell us your tractors, receivers, and whether the shop has internet. No markup on Starlink or LTE hardware.

What's included

  • Modem, router, and antennas per machine or fixed site
  • Install, commissioning, and NTRIP RTK set up on your receivers
  • Local RTK base if needed, or tie-in to one already installed
  • Direct support from us, not a reseller line

Common questions

No. With good cell coverage, our LTE-only modem is what we recommend. Only RTK corrections need a constant link; uploads and remote support tolerate an imperfect one.

A base 5 miles away beats one 40 miles away on latency and accuracy, and you own it. We've seen operations go from 3 to 4 inch passes to under 2 inches after switching.

Yes, over NTRIP, which every major receiver supports. We've connected Topcon AGI-4, Trimble NAV-900, John Deere StarFire, and CNH AFS Pro, and we test on yours before we leave the yard.

Mounted flat, our Starlink Mini has had no dropouts in field testing. Even if the link blinks, the synced base keeps broadcasting corrections, so autosteer doesn't depend on the dish.
