KOTAHINET & IOTIOT MEETUP AUCKLANDJULY 2016

3 THINGS WE’VE LEARNED ABOUT IOT SO FAR• IoT is a technology step-change

• Connectivity is an enabler- value comes from data and what you do with data

• In NZ, near-term: business, community and government services’ opportunities are bigger than consumer market

BUT WHAT IF I’M NOT INTO HARDWARE?

BUT WHAT IF I’M NOT INTO HARDWARE?YOU CAN FOCUS ON BUILDING APPS AND IOT SERVICESLEAVE THE HARDWARE AND NETWORK TO US

SENSING DATA AS A SERVICE

SENSORS AVAILABLELocation (GPS)

Temperature, Humidity

Any voltage, current

Weather, soil

Sensors for almost anything physical you want to measure are available globally

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MOREKOTAHINET IS BUILDING IT’S OWN LINE OF IOT PRODUCTSAIMED AT RURAL AND FARMING COMMUNITIESTAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF KOTAHINET’S NETWORK STRENGTHS

KOTAHINET’S IOT PRODUCTS

• Tank Level Monitor• Frost Notifications• Quad Bike Location, Overturning• Movement Alarm• Smoke Alarm• … and more to come

THIS IS A PLATFORM FOR EVERYONEEXAMPLE: ELECTRIC FENCE VOLTAGE MONITORING

A PEAK INTO THE FUTURE OF IOTWHEN IOT BECOMES WOT (WEB OF THINGS)

IOT PHASE 2‘FOG COMPUTING’ AND AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS

TALK TO US!
