Having an outdoor asset tracking system to keep track of remote assets is a great business investment, but what happens when the battery keeps dying? The cost of replacing asset tag batteries can add up quickly. What if there was a way to cut out the cost of replacement batteries? Well, now there is, thanks […]

AI has become part of daily life in cloud services such as social media, call centres, and chatbots, and is accelerating applications like genome sequencing, retail data analytics, and financial trading. AI is now coming out of the cloud and into the edge. Frameworks like TensorFlow Lite that support development on embedded computing platforms enable […]
With an expected 5.2 billion connected devices by 2025, the Internet of Things (IoT) is now a fundamental component of both government policy and corporate strategy. The ability to track, monitor, record and analyse through an extraordinary array of hugely innovative sensors has already transformed many businesses and many industries. To date, however, the true […]
They say that knowledge plus experience equals wisdom. In many cases, wisdom is the discernment in knowing when (and how) to use your knowledge in a certain situation. It points us to the reality that a wealth of knowledge or data, or information in general doesn’t do us much good if we don’t have access […]
Global Positioning System (GPS) solutions are the most well-known navigation technology. Although GPS provides highly-accurate results for location detention, the trade-off is short battery life when in use by the designated device. Many companies try to use GPS for tracking inventory and equipment, but this leads to difficulties. That said, there might be a way […]
The potential of the Internet of things (IoT) technology is known to businesses, therefore ramping up their efforts to implement and expand their IoT networks. According to Gartner Data & Analytics Summit 2019 report, by 2024, 50% of enterprise application data will be sourced from IoT. IoT is changing the way data is collected and […]
Having been placed under Commercial Court protection from its creditors for six months, the board of France-based Sigfox, the ultra narrowband (UNB) network operator, asked the Toulouse Court to shorten the period of administration to just three weeks. That protection period expires on Friday, February 25th 2022, and the ailing company’s Directors evidently believe a […]
When searching for an asset tracking system, there are many factors to consider. Some of the most important include tag cost, battery life, and location accuracy. Users of asset tracking systems often need to strike a balance between these key areas.
In theory, eSIMs offer end users the ability to swap between mobile operators without having to physically remove and replace the SIM, enabling more flexibility, more choice, reduced costs and faster deployments. Yet, while compelling in many ways particularly within a consumer environment the reality is that B2B and IoT adoption is both far more […]
In 2017, WhereIsMyTransport set about mapping the unmapped public transport networks in South Africa something nobody had ever done at scale. In the years since, we have built a reputation as the global provider of mapping public transport networks and their environments in more than 40 emerging-market cities in 27 countries, says Julian Hirst, chief […]
