Transformational IoT & 5G

Chairpersons welcome and opening remarks. 

To follow soon …

• The Benefits & Use Cases of adopting an enterprise 5G network for IoT.
• Security risks that 5G innovation introduces to the enterprise.
• Covering real-world examples of successful 5G adoptions as well as 5G security incidents & risks.
• Considerations for secure 5G adoption.

• The requirements for massive IoT and why open standards and multi-RAN approaches are necessary.
• The need to simplify ease of development and ease of deployment to enable scale.
• How collaborations are key to bringing end-to-end solutions to market at scale, illustrated through a series of real-world use cases.

• How to evaluate new technologies for your business and understanding the risks. 
• The importance of finding the business value before choosing the technology. 
• Moving from the idea of PoC’s ‘proof of concept’ to MVP ‘minimum value products’. 
• Cultural shifts and collaborations – the importance of building awareness and capabilities within the team. 

• Building an awareness of the real potential of telecoms will open solution-based innovation driven by IoT.
• Learn how technology advances have radically increased telecoms possibilities and drives a new level of integration to IoT.
• Discover how features and innovation can be anchored in security without extra cost.

• The IoT ecosystem is expanding at a rapid rate; IDC projects it will to reach 39.3 billion devices by 2025.
• These billions of internet-connected devices all share one common need: reliable and consistent power.
• However, most devices in current IoT deployments rely on either cumbersome power cables or on batteries that must be frequently replaced at varying intervals, placing massive strains on maintenance teams, limiting the value these devices can deliver and adding toxic waste to landfills.
• In this talk Cesar will discuss the rise of Wireless Power Networks that not only deliver reliable & consistent wireless power, but also helps aggregate IoT device data transfer to the Cloud from the next generation of power-hungry IoT deployments.

• What is IAQ and why should we be concerned?
• Sensors and technology measuring IAQ.
• Adjusting ventilation actively in response to IAQ.
• How the IoT brings it all together.

• How smart energy provides efficiency and sustainability across enterprises.  
• A shift towards sustainable practices – how IoT and other disruptive technologies can help. 
• Deployment frameworks, data errors, security breaches, funding – what is the biggest barrier? 

Utilizing IoT technology to revolutionize the 100-year-old manual method of mudding baseballs open to interpretation to a Repeatable, certified, automated process. Delivering a significant improvement on the ability to deliver consistency for each baseball game and at every ballpark. 

• Entirely new architecture for in-building enterprise networking.
• Installs in minutes, supports moves, adds, and changes that are just as fast.
• Ideally suited to the rollout of Wi-Fi or 5G small cell networks in support of IOT traffic.
• Finally a solution that is as agile, flexible, and adaptable as the enterprise it supports.

• Traditional linux systems have a host of vulnerabilities.
• The systems in place to assure security on linux are not designed with IoT in mind.
• Low connectivity and low physical access create additional challenges.

• A closer look at real-life use cases/applications and opportunities in the Aviation, Healthcare and Energy areas.
• What are the capabilities and requirements needed from 5G for each of these applications/markets.
• What are the challenges we need to resolved between the application vendors and network providers both from the technical side, as well as from the business model side.

The well-known five Vs of Key Performance Indices (KPI), viz., Veracity, Velocity, Validity, Volume, and Value are more pertinent to IoT than any other areas that any other areas of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence working with Big-Data. Edge Computing and IOT in that sense have a match made in heaven because, it, releases the technology stack from the cloisters of data centers and large server racks to where the data is. However, edge computing also has a great impact on how we think not just about the data but how we use the data in smarter predictability and decisions making using new thinking on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. This presentation takes a step back and takes a new look at the area of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and redefines and positions Edge Computing in the context of that new thinking. This presentation further takes the area of Edge Computing to other areas of modern technology such as Blockchain, Digital Twin, Augmented, and Virtual Reality as an extension of the Internet of Things (IoT) as well as Quantum Computing. The author describes each of these areas and their relationships to Edge Computing through his own innovative works and beyond.

• With 5G commercial trials rolling out, are more 5G focused business models needed to take advantage of this market? 
• Digital deployment – is a hybrid approach of public and private networks best?   
• A shift from the quality of service to quality of experience and personalisation.  
• What needs to happen next for 5G to reach its financial capabilities?
