CNH Industrial is an agricultural and construction equipment manufacturer that is expanding its role in the space industry by providing satellite internet connectivity for precision agriculture. Through a partnership with Intelsat, CNH aims to equip farm machinery with ruggedized multi-orbit satellite terminals, enabling connectivity in remote areas where terrestrial networks are lacking. This service will allow farmers to utilize precision agriculture tools, collect data from semi-autonomous machines, and improve operational efficiency. CNH's major partners include Intelsat, and they are competing with similar initiatives from John Deere in partnership with SpaceX.
