Theft of moveable assets inside and outside South African homes is costing many millions of rands every month.

South African companies collaborate to create intelligent solutions for the growing water crisis and ongoing climatic change.

The Internet of things market has shown that it is shifting towards more adoption, says Andrew Heuvel, CTO at SqwidNet.

iSERT collaborated with SqwidNet, the only licensed Sigfox operator in SA, to become the first, and currently only, Sigfox-accredited test laboratory in the Southern Hemisphere.

Organisations need to seek out collaborative opportunities that allow them to scale and pivot to deliver implementations that have long-term, sustainable value, says Ushal Moonsamy, Chief Solutions Officer at SqwidNet.

By representing SA in Sigfox’s ambassador programme, it is hoped that Nghonyama will help discover the IOT pioneers of tomorrow.

SqwidNet has challenged South African entrepreneurs to use technology to solve everyday challenges in the next round of their IOT Entrepreneurship Programme.

Large and small enterprises are aware of IOT’s potential, but there remains a gap for people to develop and deliver on this, says SqwidNet.

The WMD Mk5 can tackle water management challenges by wirelessly transmitting data to municipalities or water service provider databases and receiving commands remotely.

The healthcare market must be digitised at a much lower rate than other sectors and the technology needs to have a broader reach, says Phathizwe Malinga, MD of SqwidNet.

By having diversity, companies have different perspectives around the table, says Ushal Moonsamy, SqwidNet’s chief solutions officer.

SqwidNet and Teqcon have launched an intelligent, wireless perimeter solution for properties in remote areas and sites needing extra security that prevents unauthorised access.
