Electrocomp, a leading distributor in the South African wireless module market, is now evolving into an M2M solutions provider that offers customers various options when it comes to wireless modules. Being the sole local distributor of the Siemens range of wireless modules in South Africa, Electrocomp now offers customers application-based solutions which will assist in designing a product ideally suited for their market.
Gerrie van Heerden, the product line manager for wireless modules, states: "We are changing the way that Electrocomp distributes components. We are no longer just a distributor, but a company that offers the customer a complete M2M solution."
