Technology that works across the whole farm.
Connectivity, phone systems, mobile and IT planned around the way your operation and your team actually work.
How we help farming businesses
Farms run across offices, barns, outbuildings and fields, and many now include accommodation, events or campsites too. Each service below is planned around the whole operation and managed by one support team.
Connectivity
Broadband, leased lines and WiFi planned across the farmhouse, office, barns and outbuildings, based on where people and equipment need a connection. If you’ve diversified into holiday lets, campsites or events, guest WiFi can run alongside the farm network. Where fibre doesn’t reach, 4G, 5G, wireless links and satellite give you other ways to connect.

Phone systems
Cloud phone systems ring on desk phones and mobiles, so calls from buyers, suppliers and guests reach you as you move between the yard, buildings and fields. Moving your lines off analogue before the 2027 switch off can be part of the same project.

Business mobile
Mobile plans, devices and data for everyone on the farm. Coverage is checked at the locations where your team works, so you choose the network that performs where it’s needed.

IT support
Microsoft 365, desktop support and hardware for the farm office, priced per user per month. Many day-to-day issues can be resolved remotely, with regular reviews to keep everything running smoothly.

FAQs
What’s the best broadband for a farm?
It depends on what reaches your address. Options include full fibre, SoGEA broadband, 4G and 5G mobile broadband, and managed leased lines for larger sites. Where none of those work well, we can install and support a satellite connection such as Starlink. We check what your location can support, then recommend the option that suits how your farm runs.
Can you extend WiFi to outbuildings, yards and holiday lets?
Yes. Mesh WiFi, outdoor access points and point-to-point wireless links can carry a reliable connection between buildings across your site. If you’ve diversified into holiday lets, campsites, glamping or weddings, we can set up separate guest WiFi that copes with lots of visitors connecting at once.
What does the landline switch off mean for my farm?
Analogue phone lines are being switched off, with the move to digital due to complete by 31 January 2027. Alarms, gate entry systems, monitoring equipment and older phones often run on these lines. We review what’s connected on your site and move each service to a digital alternative. Digital phone lines rely on mains power, so we’ll also talk through how to keep essential services running during a power cut.
Do you provide IT support for farm businesses?
Yes. Our managed IT service covers Microsoft 365, desktop support and hardware, priced per user per month. A Quarterly Business Review checks your hardware and security set-up to keep your systems secure and up to date, which suits a busy farm office handling accounts, payroll and records.
What type of phone system works best for a farm?
A cloud phone system lets calls follow you across the farm. Calls can ring on a desk phone, a mobile app or both, so customers and suppliers reach you whether you’re in the office or out on the land. The app also works over WiFi, so weak mobile signal in the farmhouse doesn’t stop it working.
Which mobile network gives the best coverage on a farm?
Coverage can vary a lot across a single farm. We compare the major networks at your locations and recommend the one that performs best where you and your team actually work.
Do you offer deals for buying group members?
Yes. We’ve been working with agriculture buying groups for over 30 years.
Can you install Starlink on a farm?
Yes. We install, set up and support Starlink connections, including connecting them to your WiFi across the farm. You buy the Starlink subscription directly from Starlink, and we handle getting it working properly on your site.
