MCIoTCoE Panel – Enhance Sustainability with IoT, Data and Connectivity

Session Abstract:

Connectivity is the key to the Internet of Things (IoT). It is also undeniable that the need for ubiquitous networking capabilities is the foremost requirement for any IoT use-case. The novel communication technologies and protocols are aiding devices to create, share and process data over continuous connectivity. In this panel, we will discuss a few business use-cases to show how we benefit from lower latency networks, large network coverage, considerable faster data exchange between IoT devices, and real-time data processing both at the edge and cloud. We will also talk about how the global connectivity of IoT devices is driving sustainability.
