With the support of dcGAP, Dr Aaron McConnell has developed his IT solutions company, Vynomic Ltd., which specialises in agri wi-fi.
"The technology I’ve developed means farmers can have instant visual access to their farms and out-houses at any time"
This unique product is solar powered and features motion detection and video recording for added security.
"I have all this technology in place and am currently working with Hutchinson Engineering in Kilrea to develop batteries and solar panels"
Participating in dcGAP, has enabled Aaron to refine the financial side of his business and helped him to plan to bring his product to new markets.
"The long-term picture is to take this technology into areas where there have been natural disasters. Very quickly, I can cover hundreds of square miles with network in about half a day and I don’t need any electrical power."As a dcGAP participant Aaron has benefited from one-to-one mentoring sessions with business mentor Leo Mullan of Causeway Enterprise Agency.
