Introduction

With the global cellular M2M market projected to account for nearly $196 Billion in revenue by the end of 2020, IWPC will run a workshop in San Jose from December 2-4, 2014 to explore the market and technology drivers for a connected world. We will examine wireless connectivity protocols, including WiFi, Zigbee, Bluetooth LE, 802.15.4 and others as well as Ultra-Narrow Band for wide area networking and the transition from 2G to 3G/4G technologies on route towards 5G. Global thought leaders will explore the massive growth potential for IoT and assess what impact new markets will have on spectrum, network deployment and sensor innovation.

Workshop Goals

  • Explore the requirements and implications of IoT
  • Investigate what standards are needed for the plethora of connectivity demands
  • Discuss how these standards will impact client and infrastructure sectors
  • Debate business models and policy issues triggered by "all things connected"
