At last month’s NetHope Global Summit, Telecom26, and our long-term partner SystemOne, spoke about how we are “Using IoT connectivity to speed up the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases in emerging markets”.

Telecom26 provides complete private networks, IoT maritime connectivity and maritime cellular communications for ports and marinas of all sizes across the world - and the vessels that use them.  From small leisure boat only marinas on sunny shores to the largest commercial ports in the world.

We are excited and proud to have been shortlisted in this year’s AfricaCom awards for our IoT networks in Africa.

NetHope Global Summit

On Wednesday 28 October at 7am NYC, 11am London, 1pm Johannesburg and 430pm New Delhi, Robert Koldys - Telecom 26’s VP of Marketing, Strategy & Business Development - and Brad Cunningham - COO of SystemOne will be speaking at NetHope’s annual summit.

Enabling IoT in healthcare is just one of the verticals that the team at Telecom26 is focused on.  Another is the mining sector and so this research study from Inmarsat ‘The Rise of IoT in Mining’ caught our eye.

As a global connectivity service provider, Telecom26 is always eager to hear and learn from the opinions of industry analysts. So we were interested to read the GSMA’s annual Mobile Economy Sub-Saharan Africa report, an in-depth study that explores the latest data, forecasts and mobile trends for the region, which was published last week.
