The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming assets into intelligent devices. Sensors and other electronic devices are attached to a remote machine enabling the capturing of critical information such as temperature, speed, location, etc. This data can be transmitted and translated into meaningful information that can then be augmented with external data sources, providing you with real business intelligence and decision-making ability.
Digital Buildings: The office of the future
IoT is also transforming the way we work. Around the world, businesses of all sizes are embracing digital buildings, and it’s easy to see why. As your buildings and systems become more connected, you’ll have access to increasingly vast amounts of data. For example, you’ll be able to manage your energy use better – you can see exactly how it’s being consumed in every room of your building. With this data, you can implement solutions that could significantly reduce your energy bill and improve the building’s green credentials.
Vodacom Digital Buildings is an IoT solution that can transform your business with smarter data for smarter decision-making and smarter results. With our scalable solution, expect near real-time information, increased output and productivity, as well as optimised operations and management for your business.
Mobile Private Network: Unlocking potential for next-gen businesses
A Mobile Private Network (MPN) is a Wi-Fi network built to cover a specific location, able to deliver better service with more control and security.

Vodacom MPN can deliver new possibilities for next-generation businesses – with multi-access edge computing (MEC) unlocking even more potential. With that reliability, businesses can monitor critical data such as gas, sound or heat, and be able to trigger alarms and cease machinery when needed.
