One data pool.
Every acre connected.
Sabertooth's pooled IoT SIM plans keep soil probes, irrigation controllers, livestock trackers, weather stations, and autonomous equipment online — all sharing one nationwide 4G LTE/5G data pool. No per-device overages. No wasted data.
What is IoT Pooled Data for the farm?
Instead of buying a separate cellular plan for every sensor, controller, or tracker, pooled data puts every SIM on a single shared allowance. A high-use pivot controller in the field and a low-use grain bin sensor at the silo draw from the same bucket — balancing automatically as conditions change across the season.
The result: predictable connectivity costs, simpler management, and no overage surprises during planting, irrigation, or harvest.
Why farms choose pooled data
Cost efficiency
Save up to 25% versus per-SIM plans. Pay for one shared pool, not idle data on every device.
Nationwide coverage
Multi-carrier 4G LTE/5G keeps remote fields, pastures, and barns online across rural geography.
Secure by design
Private APN, static IP, and VPN tunnels for protected sensor and equipment traffic.
Built to scale
Add a single moisture probe or roll out 10,000+ devices across multiple operations.
Connect every corner of the operation
One Sabertooth pooled plan supports the full ag tech stack — from row-crop precision to livestock and post-harvest monitoring.
Precision irrigation
Pivot controllers, drip valves, and soil moisture probes report in real time so you irrigate exactly when and where it matters.
Field & weather telemetry
On-farm weather stations, frost sensors, and microclimate monitors send continuous data without burning per-device plans.
Equipment & fleet tracking
Tractors, sprayers, trucks, and ATVs stay visible with GPS telematics, hours, and fuel use in one dashboard.
Livestock monitoring
Ear-tag GPS, health collars, virtual fence, and water-tank sensors keep herds connected across pasture and range.
Grain & storage sensors
Bin temperature, moisture, and CO₂ sensors stream from silos and storage sheds to prevent spoilage.
Autonomous & robotic ag
Autonomous tractors, scouting robots, and drone base stations get reliable bandwidth with secure APNs.
Key features for ag deployments
- Shared data pools across every ag SIM you deploy
- Centralized portal with real-time usage by device or field
- Private APN, static IP, and VPN for secure sensor traffic
- Per-device thresholds, alerts, and remote SIM controls
- Multi-carrier 4G LTE/5G for rural and remote coverage
- Flexible tiers — from 10 sensors to 10,000+ across operations
One network partner, every feed bin connected
BinSentry's Feed Ordering Automation Platform uses LTE-M IoT sensors, solar-powered in the field, to stream feed bin levels to the cloud. As they expanded internationally, juggling up to four wireless carriers drove cost, contract sprawl, and patchy rural coverage.
- • Rural feed bins outside any single carrier's footprint
- • Multiple carriers across regions = contract & invoice sprawl
- • Rising overhead instead of focus on growth and scale
- • Single Globalgig eSIM SKU with automatic local profile
- • LTE-M with 2G fallback for low power + rural reach
- • Pooled data shared across every LTE-M device worldwide
- • Orchestra portal: one pane of glass for every SIM and carrier
Feed inventory tracking and ordering across the herd
High-quality connectivity in geographically disparate locations
One partner replacing multiple carriers, contracts, currencies
Real-time data driving accurate feed demand planning
From one feed bin in a rural valley to a global fleet of LTE-M sensors — the Sabertooth × Globalgig pooled-data model gives agriculture innovators one SIM, one portal, and one bill.

Frequently asked questions
How does pooled data save money on a working farm?+
Each device only pulls what it needs from the shared pool. A low-use moisture probe offsets a high-use pivot controller, so you stop paying for idle data on hundreds of SIMs and avoid overage charges during peak season. Most operations save 25% or more.
Will it work in remote fields with poor coverage?+
Sabertooth IoT SIMs are multi-carrier across nationwide 4G LTE and 5G networks, automatically selecting the strongest signal — ideal for rural fields, pastures, and back-country range.
What ag devices can run on a pooled SIM?+
Soil moisture and nutrient probes, weather stations, irrigation and pivot controllers, livestock GPS and health tags, equipment telematics, grain bin sensors, autonomous tractors and scouting robots, drone base stations, and on-farm cameras.
Is it secure enough for proprietary farm data?+
Yes. Plans support private APN configuration, static IP, and VPN tunnels so sensor, yield, and equipment data is encrypted end-to-end — separated from public internet traffic.
Can I manage SIMs across multiple farms or operations?+
The cloud portal lets you view usage by device, field, or operation; set thresholds; and activate, suspend, or terminate SIMs remotely — no truck roll required.
