A remote controlled system for precision tracking of irrigation equipment with GPS and ultra-wideband communication protocol is designed to track irrigation equipment, including a solenoid valve, through use of a global positioning system (GPS), and an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) communication protocol with a remote control device. The system provides a remote control device to track the location of the solenoid valve, or other irrigation equipment. The GPS tracks the approximate location of the solenoid valve, and the UWB communication protocol provides a more precise tracking capability, locating the exact location of solenoid valves, both underground, and above ground. The remote control device and an agricultural clock, are both in signal communication with the GPS and Ultra-Wideband communication protocols. Further, the agricultural clock utilizes a mesh network, i.e., Z-wave to transmit commands that control the timing and amount of water discharged through the solenoid valve across multiple agricultural zones.

In order to assist a user in a vehicle with at least one radio station, at least one preference of the user is determined using preferences of pre-stored clusters of plurality of users. Each of the pre-stored clusters includes users with similar preferences related with listening to radio stations. Further, at least one radio station from one or more potential radio stations available for the user is selected based on the at least one preference. The at least one radio station is assisted to the user in the vehicle.
