Around November of last year, we started working with an aged care services and products company. Geared specifically toward the elderly, they wanted us to build a product focused on an incredibly simple user experience that helps users stay in touch with their loved ones. That meant building both hardware and software and connecting the two to the internet.
How It Started: One Client, One Hard Problem
We took this on as a challenge and brought the right skills on board, including hardware expertise, to deliver it. The project also sparked a bigger conversation inside Langoor: could we explore the Internet of Things more deliberately as a business opportunity, rather than a one-off build?
From One Project to a Real Opportunity
We started talking with existing and new customers about what else this could look like: RFID-based tracking, interactive wall-sized screens, smart grid projects, among others. As of today, we've executed, or are executing, a fair number of projects that require a genuine blend of hardware, software, and connectivity.
Building the Right Team for a Unique Skill Set
Executing in this space meant bringing the right skills on board within just a couple of months. In the process, we discovered something worth acting on: these skills are genuinely unique, and the feedback we received made it clear there's a real opportunity to focus deliberately on this area.

As a result, we're delighted to announce AlterNet.io — the world's first Internet of Things agency. We want to alter your perception of the internet by building the future with you.
