UN Department of Economics and Social Affairs predicted that the world population will increase by 2 billion in 2050 with over 50% from the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Considering the level of poverty and food insecurity in the region, there is an urgent need for a sustainable increase in agricultural produce. However, farming approach in the region...

There are several IoT platforms providing a variety of services for different applications. Finding the optimal fit between application and platform is challenging since it is hard to evaluate the effects of minor platform changes. Several websites offer reviews based on user ratings to guide potential users in their selection. Unfortunately, revie...

The energy efficiency of IoT nodes remains the dominant factor for effective IoT solutions that will meet the challenges of the 21st century, especially in the drive towards a carbon-neutral world through net-zero targets. Microprocessors/microcontrollers are devices that perform entire operations of IoT devices. Therefore, the power and energy con...

INTRODUCTION: Climate smart agriculture (CSA) which involves the integration of IoT and cloud computing is an emerging agricultural paradigm that is foreseen to be the main driver of agriculture as the 21st century progresses. Sub-Saharan Africa lags in this regard and therefore deserves a special focus. OBJECTIVES: This paper presents an overview...

Radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting has been established as a viable alternative for powering mobile devices without increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, which is a threat to the environment. However, there are challenges facing effective harvesting of appreciable energy for these devices. Low RF power harvestable from various sources and l...

This paper buttresses the need for IoT-enabled agriculture, in order to tackle food insecurity globally, especially in the Sub-Saharan African (SSA) region where the global population rise is predicted to concentrate. It details the nitty-gritty involved in setting up a smart irrigation system and presents a systematic review of seven (7) schedulin...

The growth of the telecommunication industry is fast-paced with groundbreaking engineering achievements. Notwithstanding the technological advancement in the industry, it had continued to cope with the phenomenon of resource constraint in portable mobile telecommunication devices compared to fixed and tethered devices. Portable mobile handheld devi...
