Achieving IoT-Ready Network Connectivity
Abstract:
IoT will transform networks by increasing both the complexity and strategic importance of this underlying infrastructure. As the number of connected devices per human increases from a handful to thousands, and connectivity for moving autonomous vehicles and other complex applications ups the stakes for human safety, a reliable, secure network connection will be the difference between IoT success and failure. Whether the technology is 5G or a local solution, the challenge of maintaining network connectivity in mobile, rugged environments is a critical one. How can we position the network infrastructure for success?
Martello CEO John Proctor looks at best practices to build IoT-ready network connectivity solutions. Drawing on the company’s collaboration with BlackBerry QNX, where Martello is developing solutions that will maintain reliable connectivity in a moving autonomous vehicle, John looks at the unique challenges posed by autonomous vehicles, smart cities and other IoT applications, and how to leverage technology for best outcomes.
