Accelerating The IoT

Chairpersons welcome and opening remarks.

• Connecting vehicles and infrastructure through high availability 5G networks. 
• Leveraging new IoT sensors to provide safety-critical vehicle positioning in GNSS-denied environments. 
• Seizing the opportunity to automate transit operations with AI-powered driver assistance systems. 

• Ideas on where to start – what needs to be implemented early on in the process of digitising infrastructures?
• The advantages of being able to create localised infrastructures.
• Edge technologies enabling interconnectivity for truly optimised infrastructures.

• Overview of the legacy problem of IoT interoperability.
• A new layer with the help of Kubernetes can improve the developer’s efficiency with modularization and virtualization.
• How AI assistants can play a practical role in writing IoT applications.

• Current building automation capabilities.
• Securing smart infrastructures – what key steps need to be taken to help create a robust cyber strategy?
• What are the current standards and protocols to help create a interoperable infrastructure.
• What new services will arise from AI, ML and 5G optimised infrastructures?

Operators are at a crossroads. Excited by a new revenue opportunity with 5G so close to their fingertips, they spent billions acquiring new spectrum and infrastructure, setting up far-reaching ESG targets, and fighting to strip out internal complexity. However, the proper execution of a sustainability agenda presents an operational and strategic opportunity.  

It is essential not to allow other players in the ecosystem to take the leading innovator role in ESG, as happened in 3G and 4G.  

In this session, we will discuss how operators can play an assertive role in the new space, transforming into a lean, green, and mean Telco, driving the market, instead of looking on from the side-line. 

Connected product testing is challenging and executing it with minimal resources is even more so.  

In this session, Gaurav will guide you through the best practices for testing your IoT devices and applications using simulation techniques.  

We’ll cover the challenges and opportunities of IoT testing and provide tips for scaling your testing efforts to achieve faster results. Importantly, we will take you through the ROI model of using automation platforms for simulating and scaling your IoT testing.  

Whether you’re an IoT tester, director of connected devices, or in charge of digital engagements, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn about the latest trends and strategies for successful IoT testing. 

• Factory system digitization methods and plans 
• The importance of creating an interoperable eco-system to enable fully digitalized processes   
• Challenges in technology and business standards – where to start in building a robust approach to create a fully capable IoT network?  
• System architecture design for data acquisition and reporting 
• Examples of the solutions in place and their benefits 

NRW-DT is a digital twin that helps water utilities identify leakage. It uses pressure and flow sensors to create a live model for a pressure zone. Using these data inputs, the solution identifies potential leakage locations. The innovative technology behind NRW-DT allows water utilities to automatically identify the sources of leaks and avoid the costly and time-consuming process of manually inspecting infrastructure. 

• Reducing non-revenue water is a top priority for utilities across America and around the world. 
• Successful implementation of IoT solutions can potentially provide water utilities with the data they need to identify leaks or breaks in their water infrastructure sooner and more accurately, which can significantly reduce the volume of water lost. 
• Our solution was pilot tested with a water utility in Ohio, where the leak detection solution showed excellent results. 

• Digital transformation is here, and organizations must evolve to survive and thrive – it is no longer optional for businesses  
• Data-led decisions improve the resiliency and sustainability of existing infrastructure  
• Companies and governments must adopt a holistic approach to digital transformation; not a siloed one   
• Proven solutions and open standards are a necessity to securely access and leverage the available data   
• This is the only way to achieve Industry 5.0 and optimize operations, improve safety and employee satisfaction, as well as measure the performance of ESG initiatives 

The explosion of IoT devices means it’s more important than ever to maintain an optimal WiFi network.

In this presentation, we will discuss common WiFi issues, especially in the 2.4 bands.

We will also show how the monitoring, troubleshooting, and diagnosing of WiFi issues can be done automatically using our AI-driven sensor-based technology.

• How to make strategic decisions that are right for your company, not just your technology strategy.  
• Developing for the consumer – understanding the market need first.  
• Where to start in tackling the skills gap. 
• Cultural shifts and collaborations – the importance of building awareness and capabilities within the team.
