Bengaluru based startup company who have successfully deployed a state-of-the-art 4G LTE NIB solution integrated with satellite communication, bringing high-speed connectivity and smart applications directly to rural communities.
Empowering Farmers with Smart Agriculture
Farmers in Satnavari will now have access to IoT-enabled agriculture solutions. Soil moisture sensors, humidity monitors, automated water valve controls, and smart pump systems have been integrated with the NIB network, allowing farmers to monitor and control their farms remotely via mobile phones. This step is expected to significantly enhance water management, reduce wastage, and increase crop productivity.
Education for the Next Generation

Revolutionizing Rural Healthcare
Under the Telemedicine Program, villagers will be able to consult doctors from specialized hospitals in real time. Using the NIB network, live health parameters such as ECG, Blood Pressure, SpO₂, sugar levels, and heart rate can be monitored and shared with doctors instantly. This ensures accurate diagnosis and timely treatment, marking a significant leap in rural healthcare accessibility.
A Model for Future Smart Villages
The Satnavari Smart Village project demonstrates how digital connectivity, IoT, and satellite communication can transform rural lives by integrating agriculture, education, and healthcare into a unified smart ecosystem. It sets a benchmark for future smart villages across Maharashtra and India.
