Hardware Requirements
To run FarmStream Fleet, a vehicle must have an FmX® integrated display, a GFX-750™ display, a GFX-350™ display or a TMX-2050™ display installed. FarmStream can use one of many wireless connectivity options including the DCM-300 modem as well as the GX450 modem, SNM941 Connected Site Gateway, Wi-Fi, and WAN gateways.
Customers may use the Precision-IQ or FmX+ app on the TMX-2050 display or the Precision-IQ app on the GFX-750 or GFX-350 display. The Precision-IQ app prior to version 5.50 firmware for TMX or 1.50 firmware for GFX-750 has limited FarmStream functionality only.
Customers who have the DCM-300 modem and the FmX or TMX-2050 display set up on a vehicle can choose whether they want to use the traditional or FarmStream version of Fleet for that vehicle. Customers who own these devices can use FarmStream and traditional Fleet on different vehicles in their fleet and see the data from both versions of Fleet in one organization.
Customers using traditional Fleet can still use the DCM-300 modem to track their fleet’s utilization, but traditional Fleet does not link with the display and provides utilization data solely based on vehicle movement and the optional use of an implement switch.
