Smart energy by Mobisol

A key aspect of Mobisol’s business model is ensuring that the agreed installments are paid on time. Therefore, the solar home systems needed to be fitted with SIM cards that cannot be removed without destroying the devices. If payments are not made the system can be switched off remotely. Mobisol was looking for a mobile partner that was able to provide SIMs and mobile coverage in the across the east African countries in which it operates.

Mobisol now uses the Vodafone Managed IoT Connectivity Platform to manage all of its IoT SIMs via a single, central platform. It can use this to switch off the systems of non-payers, which it tries to avoid wherever possible, but also to run applications for monitoring and managing devices. The Vodafone Managed IoT Connectivity Platform makes the jobs of Mobisol staff easier and helps to significantly reduce the process costs associated with the Mobisol business model.

With Vodafone, Mobisol has a single, central point of contact for all the East African nations it operates in. The company also has everything in place to help the Mobisol business model expand into more regions. Vodafone has already supplied more than 2,000 IoT SIMs to Mobisol, with many thousands more planned.
