In an ambitious move to narrow the technology gap between urban and rural areas, Beyond Vision has fervently embarked on the REMARKABLE project. With the primary goal of providing cost-effective Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to underserved rural communities grappling with persistent connectivity challenges, the initiative signifies a crucial step forward in the drive for inclusive technological development.
The glaring issue of unequal technological progress between urban and rural areas has long been a matter of concern. The prominence of IoT and data analytics in urban settings has inadvertently sidelined rural locales, exacerbating the technological disparity. The REMARKABLE project emerges as a pioneering joint effort among various European academic partners, corporate entities, and African academic groups, collectively addressing this critical concern.
The project's latest endeavor led the team to Summit University in Offa, Kwara State, Nigeria, where an immersive secondment session concentrated on the advancement of IoT and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technologies, specifically tailored to meet the unique requirements of rural environments. This strategic move not only underscored the indispensable role of technology in rural progress but also emphasized the necessity for innovative solutions to cater to the distinct challenges faced by these communities.
The two-day workshop, "Unlocking The Future: Advanced UAV Technologies," facilitated an engaging exploration of UAV technology, AI algorithms, and cloud-based UAV management platforms for Summit University students. Under the guidance of Mr. Dario Pedro, CEO of Beyond Vision, and his expert team, the workshop shed light on the practical applications of UAVs, emphasizing their significance in various domains such as surveillance, mapping, inspection, and security.
This collaborative initiative serves as a testament to the collective commitment to leveraging technology for comprehensive development and sustainable advancement. The partnership between Beyond Vision, Summit University, Offa, and the Federal University of Technology, Minna, underscores a shared vision of harnessing technology as a catalyst for equitable progress and empowerment
