Abstract:Wireless remote control technology plays a very important role in agricultural production, but China still uses the traditional production mode in agricultural production, which will cause a lot of human and material resources waste, at the same time, it is not conducive to the sustainable development of agriculture. Remote control technology can automatically, efficiently and accurately control the terminal equipment, so as to liberate manpower from the traditional mode of production. Therefore, the application of modern industrial control technology, wireless communication technology and Internet of Things technology to agricultural production can not only improve agricultural production management mode, but also can improve agricultural production efficiency, and help to transform modern agriculture into smart agriculture. The application of remote control technology in agriculture at home and abroad was reviewed, and the problems existing in the current use of remote control technology in agriculture were analyzed and summarized. At the same time, the problems and solutions in ZigBee technology, WiFi technology, LoRa technology, NB-IoT technology and 5G technology were summarized. Finally, it was pointed out that the application of 5G technology to agricultural remote control was the future research direction, that was, the use of sensors and other technologies to collect data and information. 5G technology shortened the time for data acquisition and transmission and expanded the space for data collection.
