Multi-tenant IoT platform · Ethiopia
For Ethiopia's operators, utilities, enterprises and government. Water and power meters, fleets, coolers, telecom sites and energy assets run as tenants on one in-country platform, with telebirr payments built in. A new service is a configuration, not a project, and the platform is open: bring your own devices, apps and tenants.
The platform
Four layers, open protocols, hosted in an Ethiopian data centre. Each tenant brings its devices and its rules; everything else is already there.
Connectivity, device registry, OTA, rules, alarms, work orders, dashboards, reports, payments, SMS, GIS, APIs and more. Tenants reuse them; nothing is rebuilt.
Each tenant sees only its own devices, data and users, with its own tariffs, rules and branding. Per-tenant keys and a full audit trail.
Prepaid top-ups, postpaid bills, offline tokens and SMS reminders through telebirr and operator billing, from day one.
REST APIs and SDK for billing, CRM, NOC and partner systems; any device over cellular or LoRaWAN can be certified on.
The platform owner resells through partners while keeping the contract. A utility can run national, regional and district views inside one tenant.
Pick the separation each tenant needs; all three run on the same platform.
Use cases
Each use case is a tenant with its own devices and rules on the shared core. Tags show what it reuses. The list is open: any connected asset can become a tenant.
Prepaid STS meters read daily, topped up by telebirr or offline token, valve controlled remotely.
4G / NB-IoT meters with relay control and prepaid–postpaid switching, alongside existing vending.
Trackers and battery data for logistics fleets, ride-hailing, electric tricycles and swap stations.
Temperature, door and camera evidence for retail coolers, pharma warehouses, poultry and packhouses.
Power, environment and in-building antenna systems monitored, with faults located to the antenna.
Mini-grids, charging stations, rooftop PV and batteries that report daily and bill prepaid.
Smart buildings, parking, street lighting, agriculture, asset tracking, environment sensing, or a system you already run. Bring the devices and the domain rules; the platform supplies everything else.
About us
