SPTel Solution
Singapore
Singapore’s SPTel has launched an Internet of Things-as-a-Service (IoT-a-a-S) platform to support the development of next generation urban farms in Singapore. Beginning with the implementation of IoT-a-a-S with local agritech player AbyFarm, the platform enables fast and scalable deployment of IoT applications that enhance modern food production processes. SPTel’s IoT-a-a-S platform manages the end-to-end IoT deployment so that farmers can focus on their business of providing quality crops instead of having to worry about managing multiple vendors. The platform is also built on an ‘as-a-service’ model, making the solutions accessible without the need for farmers to make heavy upfront investments to build and maintain their own platforms.
