The thing is that\nachieving this is neither easy nor cheap, especially for companies sitting with\nlots of legacy devices that can\u2019t connect to the IoT. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iotnxt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tt100.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IoT.nxt_.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1704\" width=\"324\" height=\"322\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Typically, companies\nwith legacy equipment have had just one option if they wanted to benefit from\nthe IoT: rip out all the old systems and equipment and replace them with new,\nIoT-compatible devices.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Then along came a\nSouth African technology IoT.nxt and made everything simple and so much more\naffordable. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Its strength is the\nability to connect legacy and new devices, sensors, machines and \u201call things\u201d,\ncreating interoperability between them all, says Andr\u00e9 Jacobs, Director:\nProduct Engineering at IoT.nxt. Once the old and the new are talking to each\nother, in real time, the IoT comes to life, churning out data that can be\nturned into really useful trends and insights.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Mobile communication\noperators have thousands of base stations that use large amounts of energy for\nair conditioning because the equipment inside must be kept at just the right temperature,\nmeaning neither too warm nor too cool, says Andr\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Keeping those air\nconditioners (two at each base station) working properly is critical to the\noptimal functioning of the station and its energy usage, but is a hugely\nchallenging task given the vast number of base stations on the ground and all\nover the country. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>IoT.nxt and its\nsmart technology have not only made this task manageable for a particular\nmobile operator, but financially viable, too. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Using its\ntrademarked Raptor edge gateway and IoT platform called Commander, the company\nis \u201cIoT-ising\u201d its client\u2019s base stations, given it unprecedented real-time\ninsight into the performance of its air conditioners. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn a cool day, when less cooling is needed, our technology\ncan switch off one or both of the air cons and switch on a DC fan to blow in\ncooler air from outside,\u201d says Andr\u00e9. \u201cIf an air conditioner is broken and the\ntemperature rises, the system alerts the cellphone operator, who can then send\nsomeone out to repair it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>What is special about IoT.nxt\u2019s solution is that it can\nintegrate with many different devices through a single USB port, using their\npatented SDDI technology. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>In other words, instead of the (expensive) one-to-one ratio\nthat would be necessary through a point-to-point configuration, this technology\ncan reach one to many, saving plenty of time and money.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The technology has\nnumerous other advantages, including a no-code interface, meaning that clients\ndo not need to have in-house developers to operate it. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Small wonder, then,\nthat this medium-sized South African company attracted the attention of\nVodacom, which now owns 51% of the business, and has won or been nominated for\na host of top awards, including the IoT World Awards USA 2020 and Microsoft\nBest Independent Partner 2019 \u2013 not to mention the tt100 award for Excellence\nin the Management of Technology, 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winner of the award for Excellence in the Management of Technology for 2019, category for medium enterprises How to benefit from the Internet of Things without rip-and-replace tactics If there\u2019s one thing everybody agrees on, it\u2019s that the Internet of Things (IoT) is where every business needs to be \u2013 and sooner rather than later. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/tt100.org\/index.php\/2020\/05\/08\/iot-nxt\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;IoT.nxt&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2019-excellence-awards-article"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
