Introduction

Small-scale private LTE and 5G-ready networks are being considered in industrial IoT settings and 5G promises to fulfill the stringent reliability, availability and low latency requirements for connectivity in industrial control and automation systems, as well as supporting mobility for robotics and machines. The critical communications and industrial IoT segment is a very significant opportunity for the cellular industry in the coming years, primarily driven by the interest of industry verticals including manufacturing, energy, utility, oil and gas, transportation and other industries.

Workshop Goals

  • Understand key drivers and potential for 5GNR in Industrial IoT and other verticals.
  • Explore opportunities, challenges and roadblocks to success.
  • Assess key findings from trials.
  • Discuss and debate innovative approaches to IIoT technology and business challenges.
  • Understand what is needed to drive uptake in key market segments.
