Founder's Story

Viotel was founded in 2019 by Dan, Richard, and Ralf, the visionary founders of Viotel, united to seize a remarkable market opportunity: to create the next generation of IoT devices utilising satellite, Wi-Fi, and cellular communication technologies.

Their goal was clear - to provide the most advanced sensors at an unprecedented low cost. From their manufacturing hub in Australia, they dedicated themselves to producing user-friendly, low-touch products and integrated solutions with advanced data processing platforms and analytics. This dynamic trio's commitment to innovation and affordability has redefined the landscape of remote monitoring technology, setting a new standard in the industry.

At Viotel, we're passionate about the Internet of Things - so much so that we made it a part of our name!
