As a result of feedback from our valued customers, we have introduced new pole length and matching loom kits to give our irrigators more control over how high a radio node sits on top of a BayDrive, BladeValve or RiserDrive.

The new options are:

- 600mm pole for BladeValve/BayDrive - designed for broadacre farming where crop height is low, there is little or no foliage or structures restricting communications and operators need to use boom sprayers over channel banks and access lanes.
- 900mm pole for BladeValve/BayDrive - as above, for slightly higher crops.
- 1300mm pole for BladeValve/BayDrive - previous standard, most advantageous for communications
- 800mm pole for RiserDrive - previous standard, most advantageous for maintenance/service
- 1300mm pole for RiserDrive - designed for dairy operations, to reduce the ability of livestock to reach radio nodes and achieve better communications.
