SK Telecom is using the Internet of Things to… farm eels

By definition, the Internet of Things should connect with anything, even writhing, kinda gross, but often delicious eels. SK Telecom’s latest project is aimed at showcasing its IoT skills with a pilot connected eel farm that uses a network of sensors to monitor thousands of eels, mostly autonomously. Sensors dotted across multiple 20-foot-wide tanks check on water temperature, pH and oxygen levels, Data is then collated and analyzed by the Korean carrier’s cloud system, and bounced to a simplified smartphone app, all in pretty much real time.
