Ericsson
has signed a memorandum with Australian not-for-profit organisation
AgriBusiness Connect
. Under a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the partners aim to create new industry value by utilising the high speed, low latency and large real-time data handing capabilities of Ericsson’s
5G
solutions in public and private networks.
The partners seek to accelerate innovative productivity and efficiency solutions for agribusiness and related sectors to secure Australia’s position at the forefront of Industry 4.0 adoption.
In addition to direct agribusiness players, the Ericsson 5G partnership will address organisations supporting the sector with processing, packaging, warehousing and transport. The partners will target education and training for existing agribusiness workers and work to increase policy makers’ awareness of the difference 5G can make to the digitalisation of agriculture value chains.
Emilio Romeo, Head of Ericsson, Australia and New Zealand, says: “Australia can rightly be proud of its international reputation as a frontrunner in technology change adoption. In the case of 5G rollout, Australia is among the global leaders. The outcome of this partnership between Ericsson and AgriBusiness Connect could see pioneering Enterprise 5G use case ideas with the potential to transform the agribusiness value chain around the world. Partnerships like this one, working alongside the Government’s digitalization plans, are key to ensuring enterprise, industry, society and citizens benefit from 5G as soon possible.”
