We are IoT pioneers
For us at Trinity, there is nothing new about The Internet of Things.
In fact, we’ve been working towards harnessing the benefits of IOT for the last 23 years.
1996
Our story goes back as far as 1996, two years after the GSM standard launched for the first time in South Africa, and with it the opportunity for machine-to-machine communication. Our founder, Ross Hickey, saw the opportunity that GSM presented and imported the first chipsets that made M2M communication possible.
Our customer base grew rapidly to over 3,000 customers.
However, we soon realised that only a few of our customers were really benefitting from their investment. We discovered that the companies that succeeded invested in the resources and expertise in house to integrate M2M communications into their business. But not all companies had the business case to justify this level of investment.
We set out to solve this challenge, bringing together the best, most experienced minds in the business to start developing solutions to the challenges our customers faced.
It took us 24 months to develop the first iteration of what is now known as Trinity’s Smart Platform
This is a generic, web-based hosted service platform that enables the monitoring, management and control of the large-scale IOT deployments. Launched for the first time in 2012, it allows companies to seamlessly integrate IoT systems into their business by solving the problem of time to market and cost. It is continuously evolving to take advantage of rapid technological advancement.
Today Trinity is an end-to-end IoT Software as a Service Company
We have a team based in Johannesburg and Cape Town. We support over 165 customers across industries to take advantage of the opportunities made possible through IoT.
