EOS Data Analytics Partners With REDtone
EOS Data Analytics (EOSDA), a global provider of AI-powered satellite imagery analytics, announced a partnership with REDtone Digital Bhd, a Malaysian provider of integrated telecommunications and digital infrastructure services.
The partnership’s primary goal is to modernize Malaysian agriculture and enhance the utilization of data and AI in the sector. In this regard, EOS Data Analytics sees growth opportunities in Southeast Asia. At the same time, REDtone strives to strengthen its position as a smart farming solutions provider in the country and expand market coverage in the region during the next three to five years.
EOS Data Analytics will be REDtone’s technology partner. The Malaysian company plans to expand the functionality of its smart farming solutions with crop health monitoring using remote sensing in EOSDA Crop Monitoring. These enhanced solutions will accelerate REDtone’s effort in providing growers with valuable insights and make precision-driven decisions that can lead to better farm management, plant health, higher crop yield, and sustainable practices.
REDtone also aims to provide big data analytics services to Malaysian government entities to increase the efficiency of national food production initiatives focused on ensuring food security for an ever-growing population. The country’s current population (around 33 million) is forecasted to exceed 40 million in 2050. REDtone intends to provide integrated data collection via its existing IoT-based sensors and automation solutions with EOS’s EOSDA Crop Monitoring platform, giving farmers and government agencies unparalleled insight into the efficiencies of their farms and plantations.
The precision agriculture sector continues to evolve, and data analytics plays a critical role in its development. Satellite imagery sensing technology enables combining real-time data collection with accurate location information, leading to the efficient management and analysis of large amounts of geospatial data. Through collaboration with EOSDA, REDtone aims to continue working with government agencies, forestry, and agriculture policy-makers within the country and beyond in Southeast Asia, and multinationals. Further collaboration with the parties aims to address the challenges faced in farm and forest asset management, monitoring habitat loss and deforestation.
We are delighted to work together with REDtone. As satellite imagery analytics is becoming ubiquitous in the agriculture industry, the partnership allows us to combine our products with REDtone’s telecom and IoT capabilities. Implementing our satellite technology solutions will help the REDtone meet the food security and sustainability goals of their clients from the Malaysian government sector and present massive benefits to smallholder farmers. We are also confident that REDtone’s market coverage will bring far-fetched growth opportunities for the wider Southeast Asia.
