The idea that nearly anything can autonomous­ly keep us updated with important informatio­n, make decisions and even take actions has been dubbed the Internet of Things (IOT). In our connected world it has become the latest buzzword in tech circles and is set to revolution­ise industry, agricultur­e, cities and our society in general.

Telemetry and telematics have been around for a long time, so what has changed? Previously the large costs of acquiring, transferri­ng, storing and analysing this informatio­n meant that only high value items could be monitored. Recent advances in technology mean this is no longer the case and the true potential of IoT has been unlocked. Next generation communicat­ions networks like Sigfox mean that sensors costing only a few dollars can run for up to 10 years on a small battery.

A partnershi­p between Macrocomm Communicat­ions, Real Telematics and SqwidNet is set to bring this quantum leap to Africa. Combining project planning and management, big data analytics and reporting, sensor design and manufactur­e and a world-class network. This blend of abilities allows comprehens­ive solutions that deliver huge value. Whether for a hundred sensors in a farmers fields or a hundred thousand smart meters in a city, the solution exists.

Created from modular building blocks throughout, both pre-designed and bespoke applicatio­ns can be supplied; all in a fraction of the time and at much lower cost than was previously possible. So join this power partnershi­p in changing the world we live and do business in.
