Over-the-Air Updates for Valley Smart Panels Valley Irrigation announces another industry first: the ability to push updates "over the air" to its ICON control panels. This advancement is available automatically through the built-in Valley ICON Link. Over-the-air updates ensure ICON panels are kept up-to-date with the latest improvements. Updates pushed wirelessly over the cloud mean growers no longer have to update panels in-field via a USB drive or direct connection. It will allow even more responsive service from Valley dealers and technicians; the latest updates can be pushed out to everyone instantly, rather than taking multiple trips to the field. In conjunction with Valley 365, Valley remote management options are the industry's most comprehensive yet easy-to- understand technology tools. Valley offers complete, connected crop management to help growers make better decisions, save time, maximize irrigated acres and have peace of mind.
