Since the beginning of civilization transportation has been one of the most important problems. Even though today’s vehicles carry cargoes more than a thousand kilometres far, small goods at short distances are still transported on small wheels or on small motor vehicles. With the help of such robots one person is able to drive multiple robots, which reduces labour costs, and therefore requires remotely controlled robots. Mobile equipment management is often built up by individual infrastructures, while mobile operators are now able to provide stable and fast internet connections which performance limits are unused. Nowadays, the availability of mobile internet is provided to 99 % from the territory of the country. Existing resources and the full use of infrastructure are one of the cornerstones of our time, so it would be useful to make the most of the opportunities offered by the mobile communications. The main goal of the article is to analyse whether the 4G mobile data network is capable of providing remote management of mobile agricultural robots. In the article the existing mobile robot management systems are analysed. Flow rate checks have been performed, but no data flow stability tests have been performed to ensure the management of mobile agriculture robots. There has been performed a 4G mobile network data flow stability analysis. The article explores the real-time requirements for providing remote control of agricultural robots. The article outlines the results of the analysis.
