Kenya was one of the first countries in the world to roll out the NB-IoT technology, and Michael (our founder) was there to assist with the network testing.

Telecommunications antennas are extremely sensitive to movements which can be caused by storms and natural disasters. Often slight movements in panels can cause major issues to telecommunications coverage, which are only identified after the fact.

Obstacles

• Durability – Sensors are exposed to the harsh climate all day, every day
• Attachment – Measuring tiny movements means the attachment of the sensor must be rigid
• Maintenance – Sensors are high up on antenna panels and cannot be easily reached for maintenance

Solution

Outcomes

Movements in antenna panels are logged and reported daily, ensuring rapid response to any movement issues and maintaining network coverage across the population.
