CropLife Group Editor Lara Sowinski sits down with Mike Roudi, CEO at Emergent Connext, for a Fireside Chat at Tech Hub Live 2025. Emergent Connext is the first carrier-grade IoT network purpose-built for rural America. The network deployed uses a technology called LoRaWAN, which is one of the leading industry standards for IoT networks and is tailor-made for the agricultural industry due to its long-range (which is what LoRa stands for) coverage. Mike shares how the company’s full-stack approach sets it apart. Emergent not only deploys network infrastructure, it also integrates the devices, data, and platforms that make the technology usable.
