Problem:
Poor Wi-Fi coverage in the home.
Getting Wi-Fi to the milking shed needed.

When Jamie called his ISP about getting Wi-Fi to this milking shed they recommended ki-wifi's services.

Looking to resolve the poor internet connectivity in his house, Jamie also needed reliable internet to his milking shed to run the new automated technology he sourced to monitor his cows' health and well-being. A technician visited the site to assess the options and found an airbridge would successfully send Jamie's home internet wirelessly to the milking shed. Using wireless airbridge technology meant Jamie could save money by not paying for two internet service connections or digging up the ground to lay cables. It also helped him stop cursing the internet daily because of the frustrations of poor connectivity.

Jamie's cows are also better off. With his milking shed Wi-Fi and automated monitoring technology, Jamie can monitor his cows' health at a sub-clinical level and make interventions to support their health. Able to track things like if a cow hasn't eaten, has a stone in its foot, is in heat, or even suffers an infection, Jamie's milk shed monitoring system alerts him and drafts the cow through to a holding pen for treatment. "Cows are incredibly tough animals," Jamie says, explaining how cows can take a long time before showing any signs of illness.

Since ki-wifi installed reliable Wi-Fi in Jamie's milking shed, he has enjoyed a better working environment and enhanced his cows' care.
