Microclimate WX is a complete environmental intelligence system with three integrated layers

Microclimate WX Prototype

Microclimate WX

Prototype

1

High-Density IoT Sensor Network

Deployed across farm operations to capture hyperlocal atmospheric and soil conditions that regional weather stations miss entirely.

Unlike stations miles away, our sensors capture the microclimate variations that actually determine crop outcomes — frost pockets, drainage patterns, wind exposure, and soil microclimates at the field level.

2

Proprietary LoRaWAN Mesh Network

Connects stations across thousands of acres without per-sensor cellular data costs — the cost barrier that has prevented dense agricultural sensor deployment until now.

A single gateway covers up to 15 kilometers in rural environments, connecting dozens of stations without recurring subscription fees.

Growers own and control their network infrastructure

Cloud-Based AI Analytics Engine

Powered by Microsoft Aurora and NVIDIA Earth-2 that fuses real-time sensor data with advanced weather model downscaling to deliver field-level predictive intelligence.

This architecture connects ground-truth microclimate observations to cloud-scale atmospheric models and financial insights, creating a new standard for data-driven agriculture.

Predictive intelligence, not just raw data
Economically actionable field decisions

Unified Equipment Integration

Integrates with John Deere Operations Center, AGCO Fuse, Case IH AFS Connect, and AgLeader InCommand — unifying weather intelligence with equipment telemetry and agronomic data in a single decision framework.
