PREFERRED VENDORS n Hadeed Motors Ltd. www.hadeedmotors.com The new BMW X1 – the successor to the model that blazed the trail for this class of car – treats the premi- um compact segment to an even more potent shot of Sports Activity Vehicle DNA. The second generation of this successful model, more than 730,000 units of which have now been sold, takes to the stage with a body design straight out of the BMW X model mold. ANTIGUA COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY canmake or break crop yields.Therefore,monitoring the entire agricul- tural process fromseed to shelf is necessary tomaintain a competitive edge and ensure profitability,even under challenging conditions.“ Smart street lighting is another areawhere IoTtechnologycan help savemoney and energy. Street light management gives operators “visibility” into street light operations –how much energy is used, control over dimming and on/off schedules, automatic outage detec- tion, and proactive maintenance are some ways in which communi- ties can realize significant savings,while increasing public safety. Finally,ACTwill be offering its customers the next generation of high speed,wireless internet connectivity.So,after almost 30 years in the business,ACTcontinues to be a cutting-edge company that is dedi- cated to keepingAntigua’s citizens connected.“Wewill continue tomake the latest technologies available to our people,”Salomon states.“We have a lot to offerAntigua and the rest of the Caribbean as we unceasingly strive towards our mission of bringing our community into the future.” and designing. Or, let’s say you want to get your data off the island, but kept in the OECS (The Organization of Eastern Caribbean States). You can have Antigua as a secondary back-up solution where all your data can reside in Antigua for back-up purposes.” “Over 12 years ago, we invested in a fiber optic cable that comes into our data center, so we have more than am- ple capacity to run whatever is needed for internet access, cloud solutions, and so forth,” Salomon adds. “We’re going to be launching the service, because we have the infrastructure to do this. It’s a facility that is up a hundred percent of the time and might as well be leveraged and offered to consumers who want these additional services.” This year,ACTwill also begin providing cost-effective, high quality, renewable energy solutions for both residential and commercial applications, specializing in the design, installation, support, and main- tenance of solar and wind energy systems. “And through a recent partnership with GreenTech Solar,Tesla battery systems, SunPower solar panels, and others, renew- able energy solutions will be showcased along with our Schneider electric inverters in our showrooms for our customers,” says Andrew.“The whole idea is to go green and because of our expertise,we have been able to provide these solutions,” Salomon adds. The Internet of Things (IoT),which pro- vides for connectivity for physical assets as well as their management and tracking is another project soon to be launched. One of ACT’s objectives is to provide IoT solutions in the area of “smart agriculture,” helping farmers to monitor things such as soil moisture, nutrients, temperatures, etc., so they can yield better crops.“Managing agriculture goes far beyond soil prepara- tion, irrigation, and harvesting,”Andrew explains.“Complexities and fluctuations with soil and environmental conditions
