The pace we experience change in technology relies on the pace of innovation. Agents and farmers are busy, and that is why RCIS makes it a priority to focus on what’s ahead. We want to hear from you. What ideas do you have as you are going through the workday?

Here are some industry critical topics to explore:

Satellite/Imagery Trends

The global satellite market today is around $3.3 billion, with an annual growth rate of 11.2%. What drives these trends? Imagery, location based services (LBS), including GPS functionality, and advances in remote sensing devices such as light detection and ranging (LIDAR).
