AirO is intended for technical and not-too-technical owners of Wi-Fi capable iOS devices. It displays the health of the Wi-Fi (“Local Area”) connection, and measures the characteristics of a “Wide Area” connection to a server deeper in the network. It can be used to answer questions like: • What’s wrong with my Wi-Fi today? • How strong is my Wi-Fi signal? • Is there evidence of wireless interference? • Is the problem in the Wi-Fi connection, or out on the Internet (or corporate network)? • Is the overall connection to the data center good enough to run my corporate apps?
Paddock Link
Read full descriptionHide full description
PaddockLink connects everyone involved in fertiliser application — farmers, contractors, and drivers — in one shared, paddock-based workflow. It replaces phone calls, texts, spreadsheets, and follow-ups with a single source of truth for fertiliser jobs. Farmers place fertiliser orders directly against real paddocks using their farm map. Because orders are tied to paddocks with known areas and dimensions, quantities and application details are accurate from the start. Contractors manage all their jobs in one place — seeing what’s scheduled, in progress, and completed across multiple farms. Drivers and coordinators work from the same job details, reducing calls, follow-ups, and uncertainty. All communication about a job lives in the app, keeping conversations, updates, and records tied to the work itself. As fertiliser is planned, ordered, and applied, paddock records are captured automatically — creating clear, reliable history without extra admin. Built for farmers, contractors, and drivers. One shared workflow. Note: PaddockLink is currently available to invited farmers and contractors who are already set up on the system. If you’ve been invited, simply download the app and log in. If you’re a fertiliser supplier or spreading contractor interested in using PaddockLink, we’d love to discusshow PaddockLink could be a good fit for your business.
