TalkBeam for Agriculture & farms
TalkBeam is a push-to-talk walkie-talkie app that connects equipment operators, field crews, the shop and the office across every field you farm, over cellular data, with heat and storm alerts read aloud, SOS and check-ins for anyone working alone.
CH 01The problem
Fields miles apart, operators alone in cabs for hours and weather that sets the schedule.
The far fields are out of range of the base station.
With TalkBeam
TalkBeam runs over cellular data, so it reaches any field with cell coverage.
Combines, grain carts and trucks need constant back-and-forth.
With TalkBeam
One harvest channel through a headset or the cab’s CarPlay, with Hybrid mode for hands-free talk.
An operator alone in a far field, or a hand checking cattle, has nobody nearby.
With TalkBeam
Lone-worker check-ins escalate a missed “Are you OK?”, and SOS sends an alert with a location.
Hand crews and hands in the barn work through the hottest hours.
With TalkBeam
Heat index alerts for each farm are read aloud when they cross the level you set.
Severe weather can catch crews and equipment in the open.
With TalkBeam
National Weather Service warnings and thunderstorm alerts are read aloud on your channels.
Finding a machine or a crew member means a phone call.
With TalkBeam
The live map shows everyone who’s sharing their location.
CH 02A day on TalkBeam
A family grain operation runs its harvest crew, truck drivers and shop on TalkBeam Teams. Operators talk through a headset.
Nobody stopped a combine to make a phone call, and the shop knew exactly where to bring the part.
Illustrative scenario. People, places and times are made up; the features are real.
Combines start on the north 80 once the dew is off. Trucks, first load goes to the co-op.
Grain cart, I’m about full at the east end.
Coming to you, two minutes.
The co-op line is 40 minutes. Want me to run to the bins instead?
Yes, bins. Save the co-op for this afternoon.
Combine 2’s belt is in. I’ll bring it out to the south field.
CH 03What you get
Everything a two-way radio does, on the phone, headset or vehicle your people already have, plus the things a radio never could.
A channel per crew, site, shift or job, and the people who need each one. Supervisors can sit on all of them.
See everyone who’s sharing their location on one map, and who’s talking right now.
Talk through AirPods, a Bluetooth or wired headset, Ray-Ban or Oakley Meta glasses, Apple Watch, CarPlay or the phone itself.
Tap once to open your mic, tap again to close it. Built for people whose hands are busy.
Hold SOS and the channels you choose get an alert with your location. Teammates tap On my way.
People working alone get an “Are you OK?” check-in on your schedule. A missed check-in escalates to a supervisor.
Severe weather warnings, thunderstorms, earthquakes, air quality and extreme heat near your sites or crews, read aloud on your channels automatically.
TalkBeam stays live with the screen off or another app open, like a radio on your belt.
Features marked Enterprise are part of the Enterprise plan. TalkBeam isn’t an emergency service and doesn’t contact 911.

CH 06FAQ
Anywhere your phones have cellular data. Rural coverage varies, so check your farthest fields during the trial; where there’s no signal, TalkBeam reconnects when the phone does.
