Manx Technology Group partners with Libelium, the Smart IoT Solution specialist

ISLE OF MAN, British Isles, June 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Manx Technology Group (MTG) and Libelium have signed a product distribution agreement covering the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. As a Libelium UK distributor, this new partnership adds Libelium's advanced portfolio of IoT and edge-computing devices to the MTG smart solution portfolio.

MTG now supplies the full range of Libelium solutions and edge-devices; including the Meshlium, Waspnote and Plug&Sense product lines. With over 150 sensor-types, the technology applications extend to verticals such as Smart Cities, Smart Agriculture, Smart Environment, Industry 4.0 and many more.

Headquartered in the Isle of Man, the company has commenced several IoT technology pilots on the Island, to showcase IoT technologies and to demonstrate 'proof of value'.

Joe Hughes, Manx Technology Group CEO, commented:

"MTG has worked on several edge-computing and IoT projects in areas such as transportation, manufacturing, and environmental monitoring. We identified Libelium as a true leader in their field.

The Libelium product portfolio accelerates time-to-market, and its ease-of-use means that IoT deployments can be designed, planned and implemented far quicker when compared to competing solutions. We have several real-world IoT demonstrators running in the Isle of Man, in record time.

These are crucial considerations for our customers – they want an IoT solution, they want it to work, and they want it to be cost-effective."

The Isle of Man is no newcomer to tech trials, having served as the test-bed for a range of emergent technologies. As a self-contained community, with status as UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the Isle of Man offers unparalleled opportunities for IoT research and tech pilots, which can then be applied throughout the world.

As an initial pilot, the company has modified its fleet of vehicles to include mobile air quality monitoring and sensor technologies. The systems transmit real-time air quality readings back to a public cloud platform for analysis and visualisation.

Joe states:
"With many countries acknowledging the impact of air pollution on populaton health and the environment, our use of Smart Environment technologies seemed the logical starting point. Incorporating mobile environmental monitoring into fleet vehicles and public transportation networks, is an innovative way of gaining vital data points relating to air quality, without the limitations or cost of fixed monitoring stations."

Alongside the supply of Libelium products, the company will be providing comprehensive pre-sales advice covering the different IoT applications, sensor types, RF networks, deployment, cloud platforms, data analysis and visualisation project elements.
