BOULDER, Colo. — IAMO Communications joined Trilogy Networks and the Rural Cloud Initiative (RCI) to bring edge compute technology to rural areas, including the coalition’s first “Farm of the Future” deployment announced in June. The RCI is a unique coalition of network and edge innovation partners committed to promoting and accelerating the digital transformation of rural America. IAMO Communications joins more than 45 other network and edge innovation partners in the RCI who are working together to deploy edge solutions running on a unified, distributed cloud that covers an area of 1.5 million square miles of rural America, providing the essential infrastructure for 5G, agriculture, and energy solutions.
IAMO Communications joins Chat Mobility and Farmers Mutual Telephone Co. to provide the fiber backhaul that will connect Hurst Greenery in Westboro, Missouri, with Trilogy’s cloud platform, enabling real-time connectivity to multiple connected devices across Hurst Greenery’s four locations in two states, and helping the farm increase its crop yield and overall efficiency.
