Vodafone, in collaboration with home-grown Internet of things solutions provider IoT.nxt, has introduced a new range of IOT services in the UK.

IoT.nxt and partner Gilela Business Innovations have developed a fire control panel monitoring solution, now live at 25 sites across SA.

International adoption of the IoT.nxt suite of offerings is growing at double-digit rates, which has required a reorganisation of the operational team to manage the growth efficiently.

Economic recovery needs tech partners that contribute to the bottom line, said IDC.

The company has received triple ISO certification and finalised compliance with EU General Data Protection Regulation requirements this month.

IoT.nxt and Vodacom are hosting a webinar on 19 August, to elaborate on the art of the possible using IOT technology.

IOT solutions allow for building management system integration, occupancy monitoring, environmental condition monitoring and electricity metering.

The company has developed Covision, a solution that uses technology, as opposed to manual processes, to manage social distancing in real-time.

The introduction of IOT technology at 3 800 cell sites delivered energy savings similar to 1 130 vehicles not being driven for a full year, says IoT.nxt.

The smart building ecosystem includes the manufacturers of consumables and construction materials, adding complementary IOT solutions.

A digital twin makes it possible to get a visual, real-time dashboard, assisting businesses to make sense of data in a new way, says Tobie Alberts, digital evangelist at IoT.nxt.

Shane Cooper has been appointed as chief of operations.
