IoT360: Integrated IoT for South Africa’s critical sectors
South African company IoT360 delivers full-stack Internet of Things solutions—from sensors and gateways to Microsoft-based cloud platforms with analytics and device control. Built for resilience, their infrastructure is not reliant on traditional mobile networks, and remains operational during load‑shedding. At the core of their offering is LoRaWAN, a low‑power wide‑area network protocol suited for long-range communications with minimal energy demands.
IoT360’s platform enables real-time data analysis, predictive alerts, dashboard visualisation and seamless device onboarding. The company partners with leading global OEMs like Kamstrup, Digital Matter, and SenseCAP, allowing customisation across agriculture, forestry, mining, health, logistics and smart cities.
Their deployments include smart metering, energy monitoring, water management, air quality sensing, and wildfire detection. Forestry clients, for instance, use IoT360’s Silvanet system—solar-powered, AI-enabled sensors that send fire alerts via LoRaWAN mesh and satellite uplinks, eliminating the need for mains power or cellular coverage. In agriculture, soil moisture and weather data help improve irrigation efficiency, while livestock tracking enhances farm operations.

IoT360’s role in a fast-growing, challenged IoT market
South Africa’s IoT market is growing rapidly, projected to hit US$11.3 billion by 2028, driven by demand in agriculture, energy, mining, and health. Yet adoption faces barriers: unstable electricity supply, limited rural network access, cybersecurity risks, fragmented systems, and uncertain ROI.
Dr Andrew Dickson of CBI-electric notes that progress depends on improving network resilience, setting standards, and addressing public and private sector hesitation.
This is where IoT360 stands out—by offering energy-efficient solutions that function off-grid. Their gateways are over-the-air updatable, their platforms AI-ready, and their devices compatible with LoRaWAN, LTE-M, NB-IoT, and satellite. This flexibility directly addresses South Africa’s dual challenge: poor connectivity and unreliable power.
Their industry-specific solutions also avoid the common IoT pitfall of offering tech without purpose. From insulin pump control in healthcare to vibration sensors in mines, IoT360 delivers relevant, cost-effective deployments. Their focus on LoRaWAN is especially timely, as demand rises for low-power, long-range networking that bypasses congested or unstable mobile networks.
In a fragmented IoT ecosystem, IoT360’s holistic, resilient approach positions it as a leading enabler of South Africa’s digital infrastructure evolution.
