What is a Cloud Cable?

A Cloud Cable is a modular IoT device that can be attached to or plugged into an I/O port on any asset and connect it to the cloud. Once connected, AI in the Cloud determines what the Cloud Cable is connected to and provides it with the necessary software to retrieve its data and send it operational commands. Think about a US$25 Cloud Cable that can be plugged into any Refrigeration Unit and within seconds begin to retrieve its data and manage it.

Cloud Cables ranging in cost from between US$25 to US$50, replace devices in the market today selling for US$500 or more. This is accomplished by S2CT AI software in the Cloud Cable itself and in the Cloud. It might be difficult to believe but AI can predict the route that a cargo container will take to travel from Location A in one continent to Location B in another continent before it even begins the journey.     back to top
