A museum full of old computers, from the 1940s, the beginnings of the computer age, to the modern time. Including special problems. For instance, the question of how to keep these old computers and exhibits, which are fully operational, sufficiently cooled and thus alive in the long term. Of course this is a task for IoT. And through the partnership between [PRTG and Sigfox,](http://www.paessler.com/sigfox) we have developed a practical solution of devices and monitoring that shows what is possible with LPWAN today. We hope that this video will give you a good insight.
