Autosteer accessible for all

Share this item

ArduSimple launches a disruptive accessory for driving assistance and autosteer solutions aimed at the aftermarket technology providers in the farming business. The device uses corrections in standard RTCM format directly from L-Band satellites and is compatible with most RTK receivers. The service is available in Europe and the US.


For many farmers and heavy machine operators the cost of running a driving assistance or autosteer subscription (USD 2000 per year) is prohibitive, meaning that there are an estimated million devices in the market which have unsubscribed. ArduSimple has responded to this problem with a solution which costs USD 1,000 for the hardware and only USD 30 per month for the correction connectivity subscription. The subscription can be paused when the machinery is not in use, meaning the average annual subscription would be less than USD 100.

Marc Castillo, Senior Consultant at ArduSimple, said: “Bringing together the components, high precision accuracy and connectivity in Europe and the US in one simple out-of-the-box accessory solution, ensures that the market servicing the farming and heavy machinery sector can reconnect the hundreds of thousands of farm machines that are not taking advantage of driving assistance and autosteer to raise productivity. The ArduSimple solution makes precision farming affordable for all,”
