Description

5G Primer for Agriculture

This IDC Perspective is part of a continuing series examining the development and commercialization of 5G use cases in specific industries. In this document, we outline how 5G intersects with and enables the broader ecosystem of technologies and vendors that must come together to deliver agriculture use cases that drive revenue, operational efficiency, and improved environmental or welfare outcomes. 5G is a collection of technologies that is more nuanced than has been advertised. Its use requires hardware, software, connectivity, and technical expertise, all of which should be delivered in well-explained and convenient packages. To understand the impact 5G will have on agriculture, we need to cut through the hype and understand the promise and limitations of 5G technologies. Agriculture is also a collection of different industries with different needs, and therefore, different aspects of 5G will better suit these needs. By exploring this topic, agtech developers, technology buyers, and 5G vendors can build better relationships with each other to create long-lasting and profitable partnerships."5G may be more of a great shuffle forward in agriculture rather than a giant leap. With all the hype over blinding hot speeds, ultralow latency, and virtual networks, it will be extremely hard for 5G to live up to the hype in most agriculture settings, but 5G will influence agriculture in ways most people do not suspect," says Dr. Aron Cory, research manager, Worldwide Agriculture at IDC.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
