iSocket 3G for Australia

iSocket 3G Australia / New Zealand for power outage and temperature monitoring via mobile network

Press-release.



iSocket Systems announced their Australian version of the new smart plug for power failure monitoring that operates over Telstra and Optus 3G networks today. This cellular device will also support temperature monitoring for fish tanks and other applications.



The company recently announced iSocket 3G for USA – a power outage device that operates regardless of Wi-Fi and sends an alert directly to the mobile phone when the power fails. Such prompt notifications could help to take immediate steps to fix the problem – for example, call the maintenance company to start a generator.



This short demo video shows how it works





“We’ve been on the Australian market with our GSM product for a while and we have found that the most popular applications among our customers are shore power loss monitoring, power supply monitoring to fish tanks and fridges, as well as monitoring their temperature.” – said Denis Sokol, CEO of iSocket Systems.



The Australian version of iSocket 3G will support temperature monitoring from -55C to +125C with help of a new external water-proof temperature sensor that is suitable to use for fish tanks in salt water.



The company does not plan to charge for the service now and will be selling the product on the basis of a one-time payment allowing customers to buy connectivity directly from Telstra, Optus or their resellers. The list price for the product is AU$289.



“We understand that price might look on the high side, but since we allow customers to choose their own operator and do not charge them for service we believe this is reasonable. For example, with Truphone SIMs, when a customer pays only $0.09 per message, the cost of ownership is close to zero.” – said Denis Sokol.



About future plans Denis Sokol explained that this product is a part of their new CECO HOME ecosystem, which allows enterprises to build their own power monitoring services, based on the products of iSocket Systems. The company is also developing a global service monitoring solution to help customers with several locations to monitor power failure efficiently. This solution will be announced in London at the IoT Connect Show 15-16 March 2016 (#WTS2016).

iSocket for power outages monitoring in the United States and Canada

 This is a great product. It has saved us lots of headaches during natural disasters such as the most recent hurricanes in Louisiana. We have this in over four states and 30 offices that we support. The product works great and as advertised. We know when the power goes out, and therefore we can take remediating action much faster than waiting on the next time staff is in office. We look forward to engaging more of our management team in receiving these alerts and streamline communication about outages in our organization.

A small cost for the peace of mind and comfort that iSocket gives you.

Remember, the cost of the damage from a power outage can be considerably more than the cost of a solution that will send you power outage notifications. And remember, power failure alerting is not the only feature iSocket offers you.
