Hull entrepreneur launches new Internet of Things tech venture

A Yorkshire entrepreneur has announced that he is launching a new Internet of Things technology venture.

ThingSIM has been launched by Hull entrepreneur Chris Byrd, and is a new venture aiming to make Internet of Things (IoT) technology accessible to SMEs.

The company connects devices, vehicles and employees to their central IT systems via private network SIM cards backed up with a ‘self-serve’ platform.

Chris Byrd commented: “IoT technology tends to be dominated by very large companies, in part due to the cost of the network infrastructure and expertise needed to support it.

“We want to help democratise this technology by providing an affordable network and management solution, which will lead to a more level playing field and greater innovation.

“Use of IoT can transform customer service, productivity and profitability as well as supporting the implementation of new, smart technologies which can ultimately benefit everyone’s lives. The possibilities are endless.”
