M-KOPA believes that M2M services for customers represent a new frontier. There are challenges but there are no impregnable barriers. Principal amongst the challenges is the need to simplify the core M2M technology and reduce its costs to allow it to be used in a wide range of applications. This case study explores M2M services and presents some ideas for consideration by the M2M industry.

Published 26 May 2012. Staff at Morganster Hospital, which serves a remote community in Zimbabwe’s Masvingo province, used to sleep fitfully. If the power failed and a back-up generator was offline – common problems in the impoverished nation – they would have to jump out of bed and drive for 26 kilometres to stash their stock of life-saving vaccines in a fridge in the provincial capital. But those days are over, thanks to a pilot project that is testing a simple idea floated in the pages of New Scientist.
