Case Study Overview
A US-based Agritech company needed a scalable way to connect soil sensors across rural farming regions in the United States and India. Existing solutions were expensive, complex to deploy, and unreliable in areas with limited infrastructure. To enable real time soil intelligence at scale, they partnered with Noxi to deliver seamless, cost effective, infrastructure-free connectivity.
challenges
The company faced major hurdles during early deployments. SIM provisioning was manual and inconsistent, requiring field technician support or coordination with farmers. Monthly data costs often exceeded $70 per device, and overage penalties introduced billing unpredictability. In rural zones, unstable coverage and latency of 30 to 45 seconds per query made real time insights difficult to deliver. These barriers made large-scale sensor rollout inefficient and costly.
How Noxi Solved the Problem
Noxi launched a pilot using its Local Plan SIMs, designed for high volume, fixed-location devices in rural environments. Each SIM offered unlimited data for a flat monthly rate of $39.99, with no overage fees. Devices were activated instantly, eliminating manual setup and reducing deployment time. Noxi's intelligent network profiles locked onto the strongest available signal, ensuring reliable connectivity across remote areas. All devices were managed through a central platform, giving real time visibility into sensor performance and network status.
Results
The pilot achieved full connectivity uptime with no disconnections or data loss. Monthly data costs dropped by over 40%, and latency improved from up to 45 seconds to under 10 seconds. All provisioning was automated, streamlining deployment and eliminating the need for onsite setup. These improvements validated a scalable model for sensor networks in rural zones, unlocking significant cost savings and enabling uninterrupted data transmission without relying on legacy infrastructure.
