Management of agricultural processes is often troubled by disconnections and data transfer failures. Limited cellular network coverage may prevent information exchange between mobile process participants.
The research projects KOMOBAR and ISOCom designed, implemented und field-tested a delay tolerant platform for robust communication in rural areas and challenging environments. An adaptable combination of infrastructure-based cellular networks and infrastructure-free multihop ad hoc communication (WLAN) leads to a variety of new communication opportunities. Temporal storage and forwarding of data on mobile farm machinery as well as dynamic platform configurations during process runtime strongly enhance reliability and robustness of data transfers.
