Dulas wanted a way to improve the reliability of the cold chain, facilitating maintenance and ensuring fewer vaccines are spoiled. Dulas wanted an M2M solution which would enable them to record and report the temperature inside vaccine refrigerators.

Airmax wanted a provider who would take complete responsibility of their connectivity, without restricting them to a single network. They wanted a simple solution along with assurance that they were getting the best value for money, customer care and network flexibility.

Rennicks’ solutions experienced issues with communications in Scotland, where poor network coverage in remote locations was causing problems for some of its Variable Message Signs (VMS). Loss of connectivity meant more site visits had to be made to manually adjust signs, which was proving to be costly while the root cause of the problem was not being addressed.

3.3 billion litres of water are lost through leaking pipes each day in the UK. As a result, water authorities face increasing demand to find innovative ways to monitor water flow within pipes. Currently, GSM data loggers are used to monitor water flow wirelessly and improve the efficiency of dealing with leaks. The big problem with GSM loggers is they use a network specific SIM, which means different SIMs are required for different locations due to network coverage.

Philips Motiva is an interactive TeleHealth platform, expertly designed to allow people with chronic conditions such as: Chronic Heart Failure, Diabetes Mellitus, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to be monitored from the comfort of their own home.

Micro Systems S.R.L., a specialist in embedded electronics solutions, designs and manufactures process control and user interface boards for original equipment manufacturers (OEM) across various sectors. One of their core capabilities is building complete, customised IoT ecosystems that help their customers evolve from a product-based business into a service-based business. However, they faced a significant challenge when they launched their first IoT project in 2014 for a customer who needed a bespoke solution that could work anywhere in the world.

Mayflower Smart Control, a part of SSE Enterprise Contracting, was tasked with providing a green solution for the management of highway lighting and illuminated equipment. The company's connected devices offered a range of smart city applications, including environment and weather monitoring, refuse collection assistance, parking, road surface temperature sensing, and traffic counting. However, they were running restricted operations with a single local network SIM card across its connected product range. They identified the need for a centrally controlled and monitored system for public lighting installations, which would offer enhanced visibility, predictive maintenance, and a green solution for energy consumption.
