ET4D visits Estonia to investigate connectivity challenges in dairy farms
University of Oulu, the Finnish partners of ET4D had an insightful visit to Märja Dairy Research Farm in Tartu, Estonia in May of 2025.
The farm provided a perfect setting for testing and validating our signal prediction models, due to reports on unstable network connectivity in the Tartu region.
The purpose of the visit was to conduct thorough testing and measurements of indoor and outdoor connectivity using a Keysight Nemo Handy Device. These measurements will play a key role in uncovering practical connectivity challenges and further validating our simulation model under real-life rural conditions.
The fieldwork was carried out in collaboration with Natalja Ajupova from Estonian University of Life Sciences, on behalf of Swarup Kumar Singha and his team under the supervision of Dr. Konstantin Mikhaylov from University of Oulu, to ensure the research progressed safely and without disruption.
