Mexico's farm scientists just switched on a 5G network of their own

Colegio de Postgraduados, a Mexican public research institution for farming and food science with seven campuses, has switched on a private 5G network across its classrooms, labs, greenhouses and fields. The fast, low-delay connection is meant to link sensors and field monitors in real time, giving researchers and students a hands-on testbed for farming that uses water, land and inputs more carefully.
