Can 5G and IoT be Green?

Our house is on fire. Year on year we are witnessing climate change with weather extremes growing in intensity and frequency. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) gives us only a 50/50 chance to limit global warming to 1.5°C by 2030. This is a tipping point, risking natural and human systems. Net Zero CO2 emissions are needed sooner to stabilize this climate change yet there are major concerns with the additional carbon footprint new technologies such as 5G and IoT will bring due to their densification of our networks and saturation of connected devices all requiring power. So can...

Be 5G – Beyond the hype, understanding 5G and how it can be a catalyst in driving IoT solutions

Session Abstract: There has been a significant amount of hype around 5G and how it can potentially be leveraged for IoT solutions. The purpose of this session it to provide an overview of the evolution to 5G connectivity and discuss different examples of how the technology is being used in IoT solutions. As we experienced in the evolution of many of the “Gs” (1G, 2G, 3G, 4G and now 5G), there is a level of speed and mobile capability that will impact both the consumer and enterprise levels. However, much of the true value is hard to predict until the...

IoT and the Age of Autonomy

Session Abstract: The Age of Autonomy is upon us. Truly autonomous devices are quickly replacing those that are merely automated. This is a natural evolution of IoT due to autonomy becoming a necessity to handle the volume, velocity and veracity of real-time data being generated. Every device and even some of the things we don’t generally regard as devices (e.g. cars, manufacturing equipment, etc.) are essentially becoming robots. The centralized solution architectures and services in our enterprise data centers today are not viable for the industry use cases that the Age of Autonomy brings so fundamental changes must be made....

Enterprise IoT Architecture and Edge Computing creating a truly smart building at American Dream

Session Abstract: Smart Buildings are at the forefront of the Industrial Internet of Things. But creating a smart building is an extremely complicated task, requiring the connecting of hundreds and possibly thousands of components, devices, systems, and interfaces. Many hardware vendors are offering smart building components (elevators, HVAC, lighting, security, power etc.) creating a confusing marketplace of devices, capabilities, and systems that do not communicate with one another. Using examples from our customer American Dream in East Rutherford, NJ, I will explain how Edge computing is being used to enhance customer service and manage all of their disparate building components...

Smart Living – The Future of the Smart Home

Session Abstract: The smart home has been just around the corner for decades. Time and again, the impending emergence of the smart home was announced. It never quite materialized. While smart thermostats and smart security systems may have some traction, to date, the best bet so far has been the invasion of smart speakers into consumers’ homes. These have been heralded as the final breakthrough of the smart home. While smart speakers on their own may be entering the early market maturity stage, this is certainly not the case for their use with smart home applications. Most people use their...

Successful IoT Projects Begin with Knowledge & Skills

Session Abstract: According to a recent Cisco IoT Survey, 60% of respondents said that IoT initiatives appeared good on paper but were much more difficult to implement than expected. Although seemingly most IT projects incur similar challenges IoT, still an emerging technology, has the added uncertainty of the unknown. In this session we will describe why it is essential for all IoT team members from the C-suite through technical practitioners require specific knowledge and skills to help ensure the success of their projects. We will also explore how micro-credentials and certifications assist organizations in validating the knowledge needed for identified...

The case for gender diversity

Session Abstract Businesses shouldn’t invest in gender diversity because it’s the “right” thing to do (though it is); they should invest because it is a business imperative. Greater diversity creates a strong competitive advantage for companies, driving innovation, reducing risk, creating more resilient cultures, and boosting financial performance. In this session, Tanis Cornell and Jennifer Carter make a compelling case for why companies must invest in increasing and sustaining diversity in order to thrive – and even survive – in the future. They’ll also share what moves the needle – and what won’t. As part of the Women in IoT...
