Having launched its first product in , with subsequent launch of various products across different market segments that have recorded huge sales around the world, Raspberry Pi, yesterday in Lagos, showcased its different varieties of products that are driving digital transformation globally, with a promise to focus attention on Nigeria, Morocco, Kenya and other African countries in the next one year.
Mike Buffham, who gave the promise while giving an overview of Raspberry Pi products, said all the products from the company, were designed and developed for high performance with low cost, as individuals and organisations use Raspberry Pi products to build their own solutions that address specific challenges. This has become really popular since then. So the Raspberry Pi 1 and the Compute Module 1 use the same, basically the heart of the product is the same. So customers can take our module and use it to build their own motherboard that uses the functionality and the input-output capabilities and the connectivity that they want specifically for their application, Buffham further said, adding that there is a huge market for this type of computing business.
One of the great advantages customers see with the Raspberry Pi in the industrial marketplace is time-to-market. They can take the product, they can design with it, because it is available in small quantities and in large quantities, Buffham said. Addressing the issue of technical support, Buffham said the company had developed partners and had constantly trained them to provide technical support, to complement the online training the company conducts on a regular basis.
According to him, people are happy using the products because they are reliable, have longer life, Cost Effectiveness, Energy Savings and Dual Monitor Support, among other features. Okolo listed several global companies and universities that are using the Raspberry Pi hardware device to develop their own solutions.
