NoWe are seeking innovative research proposals that address connectivity challenges in rural and agricultural environments through the development and integration of advanced 5G and beyond mesh networking technologies. From an open and interdisciplinary perspective, the aim is to enable smart, resilient and energy-integrated farming applications, including agrivoltaic systems.Keep in mind that supervisors are not allowed to get involved in the project proposal preparation.Context:Agricultural systems are increasingly shaped by digitalization and the growing reliance on distributed sensing, automation and data exchange to support productivity, sustainability and resilience. In many agricultural settings, particularly in rural and remote areas, communication and connectivity remain critical constraints, influenced by geographic dispersion, environmental variability and limited infrastructure. These challenges are especially pronounced in large-scale or heterogeneous farming systems, where reliable information flows are essential to understand and manage complex interactions between crops, soils, climate and farming practices.In parallel, emerging agricultural configurations such as agrivoltaic systems, which combine food production with renewable energy generation, are introducing new forms of infrastructural integration and system complexity. The co-location of agricultural
