I’ve been to many Sunbelt Ag Expos but not this year. It’s going on right now in Moultrie, GA. Thanks to Camvera Networks you can surf the web wirelessly anywhere on the site. This would sure come in handy at a lot of ag events around the country. Sounds like a business model to me.

Camvera Networks and technology partner, PreSoft Ag Solutions, will conduct demonstrations beginning Tuesday that showcase the benefits of Rural Broadband and how it integrates with automation devices and applications on the farm. In addition to technology benefiting Georgia’s farmers, Camvera will also highlight other services it will offer, including new educational and economic outlets to rural Georgia.

This year, for the first time, Sunbelt Agricultural Expo exhibitors and attendees will be able to access the Internet, wirelessly, from anywhere on the show grounds. Camvera has deployed a high-speed broadband Internet “cloud” that covers the entire Sunbelt Expo facility. This “cloud,” capable of covering entire cities, has now been tailored to fit the needs of rural farming communities of Georgia, providing new and more efficient ways to manage the day-to-day operations on a farm by using wireless high-speed Internet-based applications.

By the way, according to the company’s history page on their website it “became one of the first recipients of a USDA Rural Utilities Services loan. This massive program was backed by President George W. Bush to get high-speed Internet connectivity into rural areas of the U.S. as quickly as possible.” It looks like USDA made a good investment.
