"The other device is the BeepTool-SAS Wi-Fi Hotspot Terminal that is about the size of an iPad Mini with a solar panel attached. This device receives the nanosatellite bandwidth and can distribute it up to 50 devices where there is no cellular presence. According to Enoh in addition to individual users:”It’s going to be used to connect POS equipment and IoT”.In terms of the use case, he gives an example taken from Northern Nigeria:”You have herdsmen going to a village to kill people. They can do nothing. If they had access, they could call the police.”
All this is knitted together with the BeepTool app, the Android version of which was launched in October last year. It has a mobile banking app and the user can open an account:”There is also new integrated software that connects the user indirectly to their own bank account and we’re asking the banks to sponsor this”.
Enoh is pitching this package as a solution for rural communications:” The initial roll-out in Nigeria is aimed at bridging the rural communications gap. Other communities will follow. Affordability and access to communications are key to the process”.
