“Machine connectivity is key for our customers, who rely on this technology to maximize productivity and uptime. When we first rolled out our JDLink offering, we were excited to bring an innovative solution to the market that connected our customers with their machines and dealers,” Ana-Maria Mallia, product marketing manager, JDLink said.

“We want to make it even easier for our customers to stay connected, and to do so, we are reducing prices to make this solution even more affordable and consolidating our subscription structure.”

The annual subscription for JDLink Ultimate will be US$200.00, and the JDLink Ultimate dual subscription will be US$630.00. Tier pricing will be eliminated and customers can purchase up to three years of a subscription. No pricing was available for Australian customers at the time of publishing.

Additionally, the Forestry Ultimate and Forestry Ultimate dual subscriptions will be eliminated and consolidated with JDLink Ultimate and JDLink Ultimate dual.

Moving forward, the Wireless-Data-Transfer and Limited Internet features offered in the Forestry Ultimate subscription will be included with all Ultimate and Ultimate Dual subscriptions. This change will be applied to both existing Forestry machines as well as new machine orders.
