Where’s My Signal??? Using a Drone and Wireless Scanners to Find Rural Smart Farm Connectivity Gaps

The last mile of rural connectivity continues to be the bane of technology use cases for Agriculture and Broadband coverage. Olds College Smart Ag Applied Research will live demo a drone and its wireless scanner payload, developed at Olds College, to make a real time coverage map of existing LoRaWAN, 4G LTE and 5G signal quality across a local field. A play by play analysis of the displayed baseline signal quality coverage scan as it develops will be shared with the audience.
