On-demand webinar: Industry 4.0, Data Centers and the Internet of Things

We unpacked how rapid digitalisation is impacting the grid, as well as the architecture, energy and intelligence needed to make it work in a more complex, connected environment. We explored how best to satisfy customer demands, integrate legacy infrastructure with modern technology and maximise the lessons learned from early adopters. E-mobility: The importance of developing the right kind of electric mobility infrastructure for both city and utility needs.

LPWAN (low 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.

Enterprises like Sagegreenlife are constantly innovating new ways to turn data from IoT devices into a strategic competitive advantage — and finding best practices to address their challenges. Sagegreenlife’s living walls, which serve companies by bringing nature into man-made spaces, required an easy-to-use and customizable IoT solution that would allow its field operations team to remotely monitor various facets of the irrigation and power systems that support the plants — leveraging both cloud services and highly reliable network connectivity.

Security is one of the biggest factors holding back deployment and adoption of IoT, and one of the most difficult to overcome. Get it wrong and you can undermine trust in your brand for years to come. Then there’s ‘Secure by Design’ (SbD); the UK is set to be the first country to enshrine it in law, with standards in other territories such as the EU and US also aligned to it.
