Revolutionizing Farming: Veea Inc. Partners to Boost Agricultural Productivity in Indiana

Innovative IoT Systems enable precision agriculture by enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and yields for Hoosier farmers

Veea Inc. VEEA, a leader in hyperconverged multiaccess platform products for edge-cloud computing and communications, has teamed up with Mainstream Fiber Networks, Microclimates Inc., and AmeriCrew LLC to implement Climate Smart Agriculture solutions at Cyr Farm in Fowler, Indiana. This initiative utilizes Veea’s Edge Platform connectivity technology to enhance resource management, sustainability, and productivity in farming operations.

Norb Cyr of Cyr Farm expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “We’re excited to work with industry-leading partners on this groundbreaking project. The anticipated improvements in energy efficiency, water conservation, and yield maximization will help us advance sustainable farming practices and transform our operations.”

Veea’s high-speed Wi-Fi and long-range wide-area network (LoRaWAN) will allow Cyr Farm to monitor and manage various aspects of farm operations remotely. This includes hyperlocal weather data, soil composition, and the humidity and storage levels of grain elevators. By implementing precision agriculture techniques that utilize real-time data, significant advantages are projected over traditional farming methods, such as:

• 20%+ improvement in crop yields
• Up to 30% reduction in energy consumption
• Up to 40% reduction in water usage while mitigating flooding risk
• 20-40% cost savings in labor-related expenses

Mainstream Fiber will provide the essential high-speed, reliable fiber broadband network to facilitate this advanced infrastructure. Their connectivity ensures that Cyr Farm can operate real-time monitoring and control systems regardless of weather or external circumstances.

Bryan Gabriel, CEO of Mainstream Fiber, commented, “Combining Veea’s technology with our robust broadband infrastructure will promote rural economic growth in Indiana. These partnerships will connect a variety of products and services, paving the way for a better future for Hoosiers.”

Microclimates offers a dashboard solution for universal control over climate, lighting, and irrigation systems. This integration, supported by the Veea Edge platform, maximizes efficiency, reduces costs, and enhances crop value—key components for competitiveness in the agricultural sector.

Neda Vaseghi, CEO of Microclimates, stated, “We take pride in advancing smart agriculture in Indiana with our connectivity solutions. Our goal is to empower farmers with the necessary tools to adapt to the evolving agricultural landscape.”

Veea’s precision agriculture approach prioritizes the farmer, ensuring each component is innovative, accessible, and user-friendly. The solution features intuitive control dashboards and seamless integration with farm sensors, enhancing overall farming practices.

Allen Salmasi, CEO and founder of Veea, remarked, “We are dedicated to improving rural lifestyles through advanced technology. This project illustrates how our products can enhance efficiency and sustainability in agriculture while reducing risks—an exciting step towards the future of farming.”

AmeriCrew, the installation partner for this initiative, focuses on building and upgrading critical infrastructure, including fiber, wireless, and clean energy. As a leading employer of veterans, AmeriCrew aims to strengthen U.S. infrastructure while supporting those who have served.
