LPWAN for Smart Communities and the Industrial Internet - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

LPWAN (lower power wide area network) technologies service a specific and necessary role in the growth of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity. Not all applications need bandwidth and speed. Sometimes long distance, low energy usage, and long latency is the perfect confluence of service that an IoT application needs. Some examples are city lighting, energy grid and meter management, parking space monitoring, precision irrigation, crop yield management, and many more. This webcast will present different LPWAN technologies and discuss a number of questions regarding technology and value assessment, deployment, usage of such networks, and return on investment evaluations. - An explanation of LPWAN technology and how it works. - When to use (and not use) LPWAN technology. - What issues such networks solve for. - The difference between U.S. and European bands and when this will matter to a company deploying an LPWAN network. - Key questions that need to be asked by and be answered by a company or city wishing to deploy an LPWAN network, to assess the right fit and to maximize the efficiencies it can bring. - How LPWAN networks integrate with other network infrastructure in smart community deployments, for example. - Sample use cases. - Business models that use LPWAN networks for energy management, asset management, and others. How to make money as both a user and deployer of LPWAN networks. What returns on investment (ROI) can be expected and suggested metrics for measurement. Speakers: Brian Ray, CTO and Founder, Link Labs
