”The range of the digital
applications of IoT is almost unlimited – and already achievable. IoT offers
great business opportunities for Digita and other Finnish companies in the
coming years,” says Juha-Pekka
Weckström, CEO of Digita. Weckström notes that Digita’s existing
intrastructure supports the IoT network very well. Digita estimates that, by
2023, almost 20 million IoT sensors will have been installed across Finland,
monitoring and easing our everyday lives.

The practical applications of IoT include facilities automation solutions and
smart traffic. COO Markus Ala-Hautala provides an example of the applications of the
network: ”An apartment rental company such as VVO Group can make use of
the Digita IoT network in optimising their residents’ living comfort and the
healthiness of the building by adjusting living conditions on the basis of data
transmitted over the network.”
Digita plans to extend the IoT services to other areas after the network
expansion, and as services develop and customer demand increases.
