Bringing connectivity where there wasn’t
SCENARIO
A World not so connected, after all.
Business dependency on reliable connectivity continues to grow at an unprecedented pace. Unfortunately, for about 40% of the land surface, ISP coverage is nonexistent.
PROBLEM
Remote areas lack of connectivity.
If a construction site or a plant is located far away from any power grid and internet line, laying down new infrastructure is often expensive and inefficient. Furthermore, these setups also require an alternate energy source to operate.
CHALLENGE
Taking the Internet everywhere. Literally.
As industrial projects expand into developing countries and hard-to-reach areas, stable and fast internet connection at an affordable price becomes the main priority for many companies. Providing them with a mobile connectivity system, energy-autonomous and enabling network solutions is the biggest challenge.
SOLUTION
V-App Mobile Kit.
V-App Mobile Kit is actually a portable connectivity system that integrates PoE devices and even Meraki’s Smart Cameras or IoT sensors to enable the use of Artificial Intelligence to independently recognize hazardous situations and alert on-site operators and remote personnel while delivering deep analytics in real time.
MAIN BENEFIT
SMART DEVICES INTEGRATION
HIGH-CAPACITY BATTERY
The V-App Mobile Kit battery guarantees an operating autonomy of over 16 hours.

CASE STUDY 1
Transportation of works of art
Certainly, these companies are highly qualified for strictly logistical aspects (adequate packaging, correct handling of goods, etc.) though often lacking from a security point of view.
In fact, by their very nature, they cannot intervene promptly in case of attempted theft.
Imagine the case in which a van used to transport works of art is suddenly stopped on its way due to an attempted robbery.
Most of the time, personnel will not be able to issue an immediate warning, probably because under armed threat. When they can do it, once the theft has occurred, it will already be too late.
By equipping the vehicle with the V-App Mobile Kit, the unexpected opening of the van doors can be signaled in real time thanks to the integration with cloud-managed open/close IoT sensors.
Plus, the whole scene can be recorded by Smart Cameras providing crucial information for subsequent investigations.
CASE STUDY 2
Plants construction sites in remote areas.
Injuries can therefore prove to be much more insidious due to the impossibility of preventing them and intervening timely when they occur.
Let’s take the case of the construction of a large industrial plant in a rural area where possibly deep excavations are dug for laying the foundations of infrastructures.
These excavations, which due to the very conditions of the site can remain unattended for a long time, represent a serious threat to the personnel and vehicles that roam the site.
Being able to monitor them constantly is the only way to prevent the risk of someone falling into them.
By integrating the V-App Mobile Kit with Meraki Smart Cameras, it is possible to define the area affected by excavations as “restricted” and be alerted in real-time whenever unauthorized vehicles or people approach its boundaries.
Furthermore, the Smart Cameras can also be used as vehicle detectors allowing for accurate monitoring of their movement within the construction site and also to detect the correct use of PPE by workers.
