South Africa: IoT players create IoT Industry Council

(Ecofin Agency) - On March 15, 2019, the IoT Industry Council was created. The new body will defend the interests of companies providing IoT devices, connection, software and services. It will also lobby for the development of this segment in the country.

The founders of this council are Internet Solutions, Nerospec IOT, Real Telematics Systems, Sqwidnet, Activer Group, Comsol Networks, CST Electronics, Dimension Data, Eseye, Macrocomm, Microsoft, MTN, Software AG and Vodacom.

Roger Hislop (photo), executive director of IoT at Internet Solutions and the newly elected president of IoT industry Council, presented the body as “an organisation serving the public good, promoting exciting new technologies that translate into highly effective solutions to make South Africa a better place for all.”

The IOT industry council is dedicated to helping business and public sector organisations gain insight into the capabilities that IOT technology brings… "These are fundamental if we are to bring about a fourth industrial revolution in our country, to grow our economy, create new jobs, and compete with our BRICS peers,” he added.
