Who it's for
Sound familiar?
- Teams with a working prototype that keeps failing in the field
- Organisations whose imported IoT kits were not designed for local power and networks
- Partners who need an installation done right in a short on-site window
What you get
What we build and deliver
Prototype to production
Enclosures, power, connectors and firmware hardened for months outdoors, not just a box around the bench build.
Offline-first design
Nodes that keep measuring, deciding and alerting when 4G drops, then sync when it returns.
Power and connectivity sizing
Solar and battery sizing, SIM and APN choices, and gateway setups that hold up across Western Kenya.
Honest technical advice
Feasibility checks and technology choices from a small R&D team that builds and maintains what it recommends.
How it works
From first message to handover
- 1
Tell us about your site
A short description of where you are, what you already have and the problem you want solved. No fixed package to pick from.
- 2
Site visit or remote scoping
We confirm power, connectivity, mounting and access before any equipment or commitment is on the table.
- 3
Install and hand over
A deployment is done when the person on site knows what normal looks like and what to check first if something changes.
