Webinar:  Mobile IoT (LPWA) for Utilities

Start: Wednesday 27 September 2017 14:00

End: Wednesday 27 September 2017 15:00

Mobile IoT technologies, also known as low power wide area (LPWA), serve a diverse range of vertical industries and applications that use low data rates, require long battery lives with low cost, and often operate in remote and hard to reach locations. These new technologies, standardised by 3GPP last year, will be crucial for the utility industry to transform and digitalise for better coverage. Mobile IoT is predicted to connect billions of devices by 2020.

This webinar brings together the voice of the operator, vendor and customer to explore the unique capabilities of these new technologies and how they address the requirements of the utilities companies.

This hour-long webinar will take place at 2pm UTC/ 3pm BST / 10am ET / 7am PT

This is the first webinar in the Mobile IoT Webinar Series, sponsored by Huawei. To view the whole series visit https://www.gsma.com/iot/gsma-webinar-series-2017-2018/.
