The future of hardware isn't just about 'connectivity'—it's about intelligence at the edge. As Qualcomm expands its industrial IoT portfolio, we at [VoltSentry] are excited to see the world catching up to our vision of thermal-intelligent protection. Hardware is back!

The Global Context:
(Sustainability/UN Goals)
The UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 focuses on Responsible Consumption and Production. But how can we be responsible when our devices are designed to fail?

The "Technical Deep Dive" (The Science of Heat)
Did you know that every 10°C increase in temperature can roughly halve the lifespan of a lithium-ion battery?
Most consumer electronics are tested in labs at 25°C.
Why Thermal Design Power (TDP) is the most overlooked metric in Africa.
Most people think a device's 'speed' is its most important feature. But as a Product Architect looking at the African landscape, I argue it’s TDP (Thermal Design Power).

The Founder’s Journey
They say necessity is the mother of invention. For me, it was the sound of a battery popping in a rechargeable fan that I had only bought two months prior.
#FounderStory#VoltSentry#NigeriaTech#HardwareStartups
I’ve been working on something behind the scenes for a while. I’ve realized that my platform in (Advertising/Entertainment) can be a force for change in the tech space. Over the next few days, I’m going to be sharing the research and the 'why' behind my new venture, VoltSentry.
For years, I've worked in (Advertising/Entertainment), but I kept seeing a recurring problem in Nigeria:
our expensive electronics are dying prematurely due to heat and poor power management. I decided to stop talking about it and start building the solution.
