IoT.nxt

IoT.nxt sold 51% ownership to Vodacom, announced on 13 May, 2019. IoT.nxt will become the core of the Vodacom/Vodafon IoT product lineup. I am so humbled to have been part of the core team when we accomplished this huge step in record time. The company is well positioned to become a defacto standard in the global IoT market.  

IoT.nxt is currently one of the few companies in the world that provides a fully integrated, comprehensive IoT hardware and software application platform from the edge to ERP across all verticals, products and devices. 

As a South Africa startup, we successfully compete head-on with multinational IoT solution providers by providing world-class technology at competitive prices, through our local support and development teams. 

IoT.nxt is an agnostic orchestration/management platform, for both legacy and emerging IoT, which introduces performance efficiencies and automated correlation of device metrics. It provides stringent security across all endpoints with the entire IoT ecosystem and is activity viewable in a single pain of glass. Since IoT.nxt is technology agnostic, it overcomes the challenge of connecting any and all devices or systems. This enables our customers to deploy the best of breed technologies (hardware / sensors / subsystems) while achieving interoperability and interconnectivity between all currently deployed systems and devices - from the edge to the Cloud. IoT.nxt makes driving efficiencies, cost savings and increased revenue a reality for businesses, allowing rapid deployment and real business action on an Internet of Things strategy, with little or no disruption to current operations.
