eX² Technology, a Vivacity, LLC company, has been selected by Yuma County, Arizona, to build 27 tower structures to advance water conservation and precision agriculture efforts. This next-generation wireless infrastructure project will give farms in all six of Yuma County’s irrigation districts access to field-level broadband services.  

As a top 0.1% of all U.S. counties in agricultural production and 190,000 acres of cropland, of which 94% is irrigated, agriculture brings $3.2 billion annually to Yuma County. During a comprehensive procurement process, Yuma County sought a trusted partner to modernize its communications network, aiming to build the foundation for high-speed wireless connectivity that empowers its farmers with affordable, reliable and scalable connectivity. The wireless infrastructure is necessary to support key initiatives and industries such as precision agriculture, water conservation and sustainability, as well as advanced connectivity services for residents and businesses.

“This infrastructure will be a catalyst for enabling smart irrigation systems, including remote soil sensing, automation and mechanization, as well as socio-economic growth,” said Ian McGaughey, Yuma County Administrator. “It will position Yuma County as a leader in agricultural technology and connectivity for years to come.”

“eX² Technology is honored to have been selected by Yuma County to create the transformative wireless infrastructure that connects farmers and communities while supporting other Yuma County industries,” said Christopher Rabii, CEO, Vivacity Infrastructure Group. “Through our partnership, we will deliver a solution that helps address the needs of rural and urban areas, paving the way for economic expansion and technological advancement.”
