Nokia recently launched its Nokia Life Tools for rural India, especially farmers. Walking on the Finnish giant's steps, Tata Teleservices is now testing a very unique technology, which is developed for Indian farmers. With the help of this wireless technology, farmers would be able to control irrigation to their farm lands using mobile phones. This is a very different and innovative step by Tata Teleservices to help farmers who suffer the inconsistent supply of electricity in India. So how this thing works, Tata Teleservices would be providing the farmer with a mobile phone for INR 2,000; wireless device for INR 2,700 that goes with the pump; and monthly charges. The wireless device will be attached to the irrigation pump and by dialing a code from the mobile phone, farmers can remotely monitor their farm's irrigation schedule. The phone can also be used for day to day communications. This technology when implemented will be really helpful for farmers as they would be saving on cost as well as money. Last but not the least, the technology has been developed and manufactured in India and will be called "Nano Ganesh". The technology features,
* Water pump can be controlled from any distance by a mobile or land line phone.
* A mobile network is essential near the water pumps.
* One can check availability of the power supply at the pump end.
* One can check the load on / off status by a simple audio tone.
* Automatic Mode / Remote Mode Available.
* Provision of memory for storing the on and off commands.
