Rogers to support IoT networks, oil and gas, food industries with new services

Rogers Communications Inc. has reorganized its subscription-based Internet of Things (IoT) networking services, and is now augmenting them with offerings for the oil and gas and food industries, the company announced recently.

The new services – level monitoring for the former and farm and food monitoring for the latter – will be delivered by Kitchener, Ontario-based IoT service provider blueRover, and supported by Rogers.

The move is part of a wider push by the company to eventually offer a complete range of IoT services across multiple sectors, including retail and manufacturing, Ignacio Paz, Rogers’ general manager of IoT, told ITBusiness.ca.
