From device firmware
to executive dashboard.

Augusta operates one of the largest production telematics platforms in Kenya — 15,000+ vehicles tracked daily, NTSA-compliant speed limiters, fuel telemetry, and full edge-to-cloud architecture. We build the whole stack, including the hardware bits.

What's included
  • Device selection & firmware
  • Edge data processing
  • Cloud ingestion & storage
  • Real-time dashboards
  • NTSA / regulator compliance
  • SIM & connectivity management
  • 24/7 platform operations
Why us

We already operate what you're trying to build.

Most IoT vendors sell you a platform and walk away. Augusta runs telematics platforms in production today — including national-scale infrastructure with NTSA reporting deadlines and 15,000+ active vehicles. We know exactly where IoT projects break, because we've fixed it.

From the firmware on the OBD device, through the SIM swap, the cloud ingestion pipeline, the dashboard, and the compliance report — we've shipped every layer.

01

Full-stack IoT

Hardware selection, firmware, edge logic, ingestion, storage, dashboards, alerting. One team, one accountability — not five vendors and a bunch of finger-pointing.

02

NTSA-fluent

We've worked through the NTSA speed-limiter compliance regime end-to-end — including the certification process, the test lab integration, and the quarterly audit cadence.

03

Battle-tested at scale

15,000+ vehicles is a meaningful proof point. Every concern you'll have at scale — SIM management, GPS drift, network outage handling, time-series storage cost — we've already solved.

04

Sub-second telemetry

Our production stack handles sub-second update cadence at 15K vehicle scale. Most "real-time" platforms aren't real-time at scale — ours is.

Capabilities

What we build.

Six IoT and connected-infrastructure practices.

Vehicle telematics

Real-time GPS, speed, fuel, driver behaviour. OBD integration, dashcam, and harsh-event detection. Fleet management dashboards built around East African operating reality.

NTSA speed limiter

End-to-end speed-limiter compliance — device certification, data collection, government reporting, audit support.

Asset tracking

Container, equipment, livestock, cargo tracking — including cold-chain monitoring with temperature and humidity telemetry.

Custom firmware

Embedded engineering — C/C++ firmware on STM32 / ESP32 / Nordic platforms, OTA updates, low-power profiles for solar-powered devices.

Connectivity

Multi-MNO SIM management, eSIM provisioning, MQTT brokers, fallback strategies for rural connectivity. Including monthly carrier-cost optimisation.

Alerting platforms

Cross-channel alerting for incident, emergency, and operational events — SMS, push, email, voice. Used in IoT, SaaS, and government deployments.

How we work

From device to dashboard.

Three phases — IoT projects fail when these are skipped.

01

Field validation

Device selection, firmware spike, real-world telemetry from a small pilot fleet. We end this phase with proof the hardware behaves as advertised in actual deployment conditions.

Phase4 – 8 weeks
02

Platform build

Cloud ingestion, time-series storage, dashboards, alerting, regulator integration. Built once, then iterated against real telemetry from the pilot deployment.

Phase3 – 6 months
03

Roll-out & operate

Wave-by-wave deployment to the full fleet, ongoing 24/7 operations, monthly compliance reporting. Optional managed device replacement and SIM management.

FAQ

Buyer questions.

The questions IoT buyers ask before signing.

Do you provide the hardware?
We can. We have established supply relationships for OBD trackers, cargo trackers, and asset trackers — including with NTSA-certified vendors. We also work with your existing hardware where it's the right call.
What about NTSA certification?
We've taken multiple devices and platforms through NTSA's speed-limiter certification process — including pre-test labs, certification submission, and the on-site audit. We know the gotchas.
Can you handle 50,000+ vehicles?
Yes. The architecture we run today scales horizontally — we'd add ingestion capacity, partition the time-series storage, and continue. We've modelled it to 100K+ vehicles with no architectural changes.
What about rural connectivity?
Our devices store-and-forward when out of coverage. We use multi-MNO SIM strategies for areas with patchy signal, and our dashboards correctly distinguish "vehicle stopped" from "vehicle out of coverage" — a non-trivial bit of state.
How fast can a pilot start?
A 50-vehicle pilot can typically be live in 6–8 weeks from kickoff — including device procurement, fitting, dashboard build, and first compliance report.
