Vodafone connects the internet of seals
 

Orkney’s harbour seals will be connected to Vodafone’s M2M network as researchers try to work out why populations are falling.

The move to connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) is part of a study will be conducted by the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU) at the University of St Andrews.

Marine telemetry tags will be attached to a number of seals and will send data on their location, dive behaviour and oceanic environment back to researchers using Vodafone’s M2M network. The scientists will be able to monitor the state of each SIM card in each tag from one PC.
