Join our panel of distinguished experts who will share their experience and insights on this year's hottest trends and how to separate the real from the hype.
Remember the Internet refrigerator, released at the tail end of the dot-com boom in 2000? Well, it’s back and it’s joined by your internet-connected crockpot, oven, thermostat, lighting system, and of course, your automobile. Not to mention the internet-connected trash can that your municipal government will soon be ordering, along with smart parking meters, and line-counting cameras for the service window as well as sensors for the sewer pipe. In the jet you are traveling, the jet engine makers have access to more information about the engine’s performance than the pilots do – problems can be diagnosed and resolved before landing!
Welcome to the second coming of the Internet of Things, a vision (some of it already real) where almost every man-made object can send and receive data, as well as process commands.
Topics to be discussed:
The Internet of Things (IoT) has been hyped for years, but will 2014 become known as the turning point, when the hype turned into reality?
What are the key use cases that will make IoT a must have platform in the home, car, office, and other commercial environments and which of these will see full-scale deployment first?
What are the remaining technical challenges before IoT can be widely deployed?
Will our Internet and computing infrastructure be able to handle the explosion of data generated, as well as the increased processing requirements?
When will energy harvesting become mature enough to enable deployment of self-powered sensors?
Which of the above areas are “green-field”, i.e. especially ripe for innovation?
Who will win the battle to deliver IoT innovations to the customer?
Fast moving startups or corporates with global scale?
Are existing telecoms and network infrastructure providers well positioned to reap the benefits of the anticipated explosion in network connections and traffic?
What about privacy and security?
Will consumers continue to trade in their private data for increased conveniences and functionalities?
Could privacy-concerns affect rollout speed, i.e. Europe vs. North America vs. Asia?
Join us to get up-to-date on this year’s hottest trend and to separate the real from the hype.
IoT startups are invited to demonstrate their applications during the first hour of the event.
