South Africa runs on knowing where things are – vehicles, assets, equipment, people. But traditional tracking connectivity can get expensive when you try to scale to millions of everyday assets.

Too much cost. Too much infrastructure. Too much friction.

That’s why we’re excited to announce a strategic partnership with Nodle to expand crowdsourced, ultra‑low‑power Bluetooth IoT connectivity in South Africa.

What changes with crowdsourced BLE?

Quite simply: scale.

It’s a network that scales with participation – instead of infrastructure.

Smartphones become the network, creating coverage that can grow with adoption, while keeping device power use and data requirements extremely low.

No dense infrastructure rollouts. No waiting for new gateways.

Billions of connections. And most of them run on just three technologies.

IoT connections are accelerating, with forecasts pointing to between 39 and 47 billion in the coming years.

Even with all this growth, just THREE technologies still power the bulk of connectivity – together accounting for nearly 80% of all IoT connections.

They are:

🔶 Wi-Fi (32%) – still the biggest slice of IoT connectivity

🔶 Bluetooth (24%) – the workhorse for short-range, low-power connections

🔶 Cellular IoT (22%) – across 2G/3G/4G/5G, LTE-M, and NB-IoT

So what’s next?

The focus is shifting to hybrid connectivity (using the best network available at any moment), 5G integration, more AI-driven automation, and non-terrestrial (satellite) networks to extend coverage beyond traditional footprints.

At the same time, trends like eSIM for IoT (SGP.32), edge computing, and stronger security-by-design are making it easier to deploy – and manage – connected devices at serious scale.

It’s Saturday afternoon. The store is busy. A customer is ready to pay, but the card machine stalls. Not because the payment app is down, but because the connection dropped.

In retail, even brief connectivity gaps hit revenue and customer trust. And across multiple sites, it’s rarely one big outage – it’s the small, unpredictable dead spots that lead to lost transactions, frustrated customers, and teams stuck fighting fires.

So what changes when retail connectivity is designed for resilience?

Here’s a real-world example: in one large, multi-site point-of-sale (POS) deployment we supported, the brief was simple: keep checkouts fast and reliable as the footprint scaled – without connectivity becoming a daily operational headache.

The customer was dealing with slow transaction performance and intermittent drops at the till; really impacting customers.

Working closely with their team, we significantly improved network performance, cutting transaction time from 10 seconds to 3 seconds, and helped design for scale – from 10,000 devices to hundreds of thousands – with reliable uptime.

The result: smoother checkout experiences, fewer interruptions, and far less firefighting during peak periods.

With reliable multi-network connectivity and real-time monitoring, retail teams can:

🔸Detect degraded performance immediately
🔸 Keep critical systems online with resilient coverage and failover
🔸Reduce lost revenue from “offline-but-unknown” failures
🔸 Scale multi-site operations with predictable performance and central control
🔸Improve customer experience in-store and keep fulfilment journeys consistent

The Netherlands runs on logistics, and when logistics is a national advantage, connectivity can’t afford to fall behind.

With high-volume sea and air freight flowing through hubs like Rotterdam and Schiphol, operations rely on real-time visibility across ports, warehouses, road networks, and cross-border distribution.

But when devices drop offline, the impact spreads quickly: missed scans, delayed handoffs, shaky ETAs, congestion, and slower response when supply chains are under pressure.

➡️ THE SOLUTION

Multi-network, enterprise IoT connectivity can automatically switch to the strongest available carrier, helping trackers, sensors, and mobile assets stay online as freight moves between terminals, industrial zones, and cross-border routes.

➡️ THE OUTCOMES

🔸 Fewer outages and fewer “visibility gaps” across ports, yards, warehouses, and transport legs

🔸 Faster exception detection and response because telemetry and location updates don’t drop mid-handoff

🔸 Lower operational overhead by reducing manual follow-ups, re-checks, and reactive troubleshooting

🔸 More confidence meeting SLA performance and scaling across multi-site, cross-border distribution networks

As a major gateway into Europe and a premier European trade hub accounting for around 18% of all EU imports, there’s a lot at stake for the Netherlands. This is exactly the kind of environment enterprise connectivity was built for.

The Netherlands is part of our global network of 220 countries and territories.

If the meter is offline, the utility is operating blind.

Smart metering isn't just "automatic reads". It's faster response, clearer exceptions, and real-time theft and fault signals.

Traditional meters create gaps: readings are missed or delayed, tampering goes undetected, and faults are found too late. The result is estimated billing, disputes, revenue leakage, and slower restoration.

With IoT connectivity, smart meters can:

🔸 Send readings automatically (interval and on-demand)

🔸 Report health (battery, connectivity, failures)

🔸 Trigger tamper or anomaly alerts (opened enclosure, reverse flow, unusual usage)

🔸 Connect to nearby devices like security sensors or event-triggered cameras

Here’s how this looks in real life:

It's 2:13am. A cabinet is forced open. A tamper sensor triggers, an alert is sent with location + meter ID, and a connected camera captures evidence – routed to the right responder automatically.

Instead of discovering theft at the next billing cycle, teams get real-time detection, evidence, and response.

Connectivity is what makes smart metering scale. Readings must be delivered reliably. Alarms must arrive fast. And event data – like images – needs to be handled efficiently.

In healthcare, systems support operations – but they also protect people’s lives. Which is why integration and scalability are so important.

Sense Hub is built to integrate easily. It plugs into your existing tools via RESTful APIs and webhooks, so sensor and asset data can flow into the workflows your teams already rely on – from reporting dashboards to day-to-day operations.

And because healthcare doesn’t happen in one building, Sense Hub is designed to scale across wards, sites, teams, and regions. Multi-tenancy and flexible permissions mean you can support different departments or customer environments without mixing data, while still rolling up the insights and reporting you need.

The result: organised data, controlled access, and faster decision-making.

In a healthcare environment, equipment availability and medication integrity are critical.

Real-time visibility with Sense Hub prevents asset misplacement across wards, protects medication quality with automated cold-storage breach alerts, and improves patient flow – all while strengthening sterile-area control through automated access monitoring.

Here are a few of the benefits of using FlexiTag plus Sense Hub for a healthcare use case:

👉 Eliminate equipment search time with real-time tracking of, for example, wheelchairs, infusion pumps, and mobile diagnostic devices.

👉 Protect medication and vaccine integrity through automated temperature breach alerts and audit logs.

👉 Enhance patient flow and bed management with visibility into equipment location and availability across wards.

👉 Strengthen sterile-area control by monitoring door access and environmental conditions in operating rooms and clean zones.

In healthcare, every risk has human consequences. When something fails, lives and well-being can be in jeopardy.

The weakest link in many IoT deployments isn’t the dashboard – it’s the connection at the edge.

Most IoT problems don’t start with “big” failures. They start with small devices behaving inconsistently.

Pairing issues, dropouts, and battery drain are the kinds of friction that quietly derail adoption.

That’s why Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) matters.

BLE is a low-power wireless technology used to connect everyday “small” devices – such as sensors, asset tags, buttons, and beacons – to a nearby phone, tablet, or gateway. Designed for tiny data and tiny power, devices can run for months (or years) without constant charging or maintenance.

BLE gives you:

✔️ Longer battery life → fewer replacements, fewer site visits, lower maintenance load
✔️ More reliable tracking/telemetry → fewer “where did it go?” moments
✔️ Faster deployment → small devices become viable across warehouses, sites, and fleets
✔️ Better adoption → operators trust systems that pair quickly and stay stable

BLE is the bridge, not the product. But if the bridge is unreliable, the value never reaches your dashboard.

In Mexico, coverage can shift quickly once you move beyond major metros – and those gaps show up fast in real-world operations.

If you’re running assets across manufacturing corridors, remote depots, and cross-border routes, one weak patch can mean delayed telemetry, missed alerts, and higher cost-to-serve when devices drop offline at the worst time, such as in transit, at remote depots, or on distributed sites.

A tangible example is the Mexico-US freight corridor around Nuevo Laredo in Mexico, and Laredo in the US – one of the busiest gateways for truck trade between the two countries. If trackers or telematics drop offline while loads are queued at yards, moving through inspection, or rolling north on long stretches of highway, the result is slower exception handling, missed chain-of-custody moments, and manual calls to confirm where a shipment is or what condition it’s in.

➡️ THE SOLUTION

Multi-network, enterprise IoT connectivity that can automatically switch to the strongest available carrier helps devices stay online as they move between regions, routes, and changing network conditions.

➡️ THE OUTCOMES

🔸 Fewer outages and “dead zones” across routes, regions, and remote sites
🔸 Faster fault detection and response because telemetry doesn’t disappear mid-incident
🔸 Lower operational overhead by reducing manual troubleshooting and unnecessary site visits
🔸 More confidence expanding deployments nationally (and across border-linked operations) without redesigning connectivity for every location

Resilient IoT connectivity is what keeps distributed operations measurable, predictable, and controllable.

The enterprise IoT connectivity playbook is being rewritten: global, multi-network platforms are replacing patchworks of local carrier contracts.

This shift is happening at the same time the connected world is accelerating. Forecasts suggest that by 2030:
👉 Mobile technologies and services will reach $11.3 trillion globally
👉 Connected IoT devices will reach 39 billion globally
👉 Cellular IoT connectivity revenue will exceed $30 billion globally⁠⁠.

As IoT scales, teams aren’t just adding devices – they’re adding countries, warehouses, fleets, contractors, and risk. With deployments expanding across regions, businesses are moving away from market-by-market connectivity – and with it, different pricing models, coverage constraints, and management tools.

Instead, they’re standardising on a single global connectivity layer that’s easier to govern, repeat, and scale.

In other words: deployments are now large enough that connectivity is becoming an infrastructure decision, not a procurement task.

That’s one reason why global multi-network connectivity is gaining momentum: it supports growth without multiplying cost models, operational effort, or governance complexity.

Curious what’s driving the shift?

Here’s three common factors:
1️⃣ Commercial consistency across markets
2️⃣ Faster expansion into new regions
3️⃣ Stronger operational control at scale

We can expect this to keep accelerating as global rollouts move from pilot to production, and teams prioritise consistency, governance, and speed-to-market.

At a surface level, cold chain failure looks like waste: spoiled food, rejected shipments, compromised vaccines. But the real impact is bigger – and measurable.

Let’s look at some of the numbers.

🔶 526 million tonnes of food are lost each year to cold chain failures (about 12% of all food produced globally).

🔶 Tied to this produce loss is an economic impact of $1 trillion, according to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).

🔶 The pharmaceutical sector is another area hard-hit. As much as $35 billion dollars is lost annually from cold chain breakdowns, says IQVIA.

🔶 Up to one quarter of vaccines transported – 25% – are degraded by the time they reach their destination.

With 5.2 million refrigerated trailers and intermodal containers in operation globally, cold chains are complex systems with countless handoffs – roads, ports, depots, and warehouses. The bigger the footprint, the harder it is to maintain confidence without continuous visibility.

That’s why cold chain integrity isn’t just “keeping it cold.” It’s being able to prove conditions were maintained end-to-end – with real-time monitoring, rapid exception response, and an auditable chain-of-custody record.

Connectivity turns “we think it stayed cold” into “we can prove it stayed cold”, because the cold chain breaks in the gaps, and visibility is what closes them.
