Pre-fabricated modular data centre specialist, DXN Limited, is pleased to announce it has entered into an exclusive Master Supply Agreement (MSA) with Connected Farms. Connected Farms Pty Ltd are an Australian-owned company and a Licenced Telecommunications Carrier which was formed to provide connectivity solutions to the agriculture industry.
The company offers high quality broadband services to farmlands for voice, data and farming IOT applications. Part of their offering includes local edge micro datacentres that reduces latency in autonomous applications and allow better near farm data processing of all the various data sources such as IoT sensors and video feed. Following build out of the first Edge data centre, DXN will also be contracted by Connected Farms for annual maintenance and operations of the Edge data centre modules.
Matthew Madden, CEO, DXN Limited said “We are thrilled to be working with Connected Farms on this exciting initiative enabling connectivity for the bush. DXN is excited to support Connected Farms and leverage our skills as a vertically integrated data centre company. Australia is the global leader in autonomous vehicles thanks to the large investment from our mining sector. Agriculture is the next market that will embrace autonomous vehicles and we are excited about helping another Australian company lead the way. With farmers continuing to adopt agritech, agriculture is going to be one of the key growth industries for data”
Growth in Edge data centres is just beginning with machine to machine communication now starting to drive the need for lower latency. Edge data centres reduce the latency requirements by bringing the infrastructure much closer to where it is required. DXN’s Australian built modular Edge data centres are designed to meet the harshest environmental requirements in Australia and can be rapidly deployed and expanded to meet the growing needs of Connected Farms
Tom Andrews, CEO at Connected Farms said “DXN Limited being Australia-made and Australia-owned is the right fit to be a long term partner for Connected Farm’s business model. DXN has now proven themselves with multiple high-quality builds around the country and overseas and the ability to custom design and complement the Connected Farms business model is a winning formula for the partnership”
The Agreement is subject to standard termination provisions for a contract of this nature.
