Internet Service Provider Liquid Telecom and France-based network provider Sigfox have signed a deal to provide a smart communications network which will enable Kenyans to monitor water and electricity meters, track wildlife and environmental changes for agricultural use.

Under the partnership, Sigfox will roll out 300 base towers by November 2019 to connect up to 85 per cent of Kenyans to their new Internet of Things (IoT) network. This will represent 40 per cent of Kenya’s landscape.
