Internet of things player SqwidNet finally appoints a permanent MD to replace Reshaad Sha, who left in April.

Technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning are making inroads in the collaboration process, says Dark Fibre Africa.

Dark Fibre Africa's Vino Govender will discuss AI's potential to drive economic growth at ITWeb's AI conference next week.

Dark Fibre Africa sees a lot of opportunity coming from the approaching roll-out of 5G in South Africa.

Although there are many players in the market, in future the industry will consolidate, says Community Investment Ventures Holdings.

Wearable technologies are the wave of the future, and can have a positive impact on a range of industries, provided there is fast, high-quality connectivity for them to make use of.

Reshaad Sha, who has served on the executive teams of both SqwidNet and Dark Fibre Africa, will be the new Liquid Telecom CEO for the South African region, effective 1 June.

The Internet of things is changing the security landscape, as it makes everything from locks and perimeter controls to IP cameras that are much smarter.

Connectivity is high on the agenda as South African businesses evolve in their digital transformation journey, says Vino Govender, acting chief strategy officer at Dark Fibre Africa.

The IOT offers enormous potential to farmers seeking to increase yields, reduce resource wastage and improve efficiencies, says Reshaad Sha, CEO at SqwidNet and chief strategy officer at DFA.

Modern ports are transforming and digitalising, but high-speed connectivity remains the backbone of any attempt to create a genuinely smart port, says Vino Govender CM(SA), Executive: Product Innovation and Marketing at Dark Fibre Africa.

The Internet of things network operator says the initiative aims to empower entrepreneurs to become established players in the IOT ecosystem.
