Connected Everything!
In this seminar, Ravinder will talk about the next-generation infrastructure, and the role of the broadband network for the connectivity of IoT, underpinned by next-generation networks.
The Network is the foundation for connecting People, Machines and Things. We are at the cusp of realization of mass IoT solutions exploiting 5G and fiber-based connectivity. These and the cloud, softwarization and virtualization concepts are primed for the realization of the Smart Homes, Smart Communities/Cities, Smart Cars and Smart Venues etc. While the mass adoption maybe a foregone conclusion, challenges remain, ranging from the business models to the security and management of massive volumes of data. This talk will explore the next-generation infrastructure, and the role of the broadband network for the connectivity of IoT, underpinned by next-generation networks. It will look at how the network becomes the 鈥榙istributed鈥� cloud, facilitating the next wave of services in the Smart 鈥榅鈥� domains.
