Sigfox South Africa CEO on AI-powered asset tracking without GPS

Episode notes

AI-powered tracking without GPS sounds impossible - until you see how it’s already transforming real-world operations. In this episode, Sigfox South Africa CEO Gregory Rood explains how next-generation IoT networks are redefining asset tracking in environments where traditional systems fail. From vehicle recovery in high-risk areas to monitoring critical infrastructure and logistics, the conversation unpacks how low-power, wide-area networks combined with AI and machine learning can locate assets even when GPS and GSM signals are jammed. You’ll get a clear look at the technology behind Sigfox’s “Bloodhound” system, how it uses signal triangulation and data analytics, and why this matters for businesses operating in complex, high-risk environments like South Africa. If you’re interested in innovation, security, logistics, or the future of connected systems, this episode offers practical insight into how businesses can track smarter, reduce risk, and operate more efficiently.
