With 25 billion connected devices by 2025, the Internet of Things proves to be fundamental in defining the future of our industry and our world, and in expediting a new era of unparalleled intelligent connectivity for not only everyone, but also everything.
Intelligent connectivity is the term used to describe the powerful combination of interoperable mobile networks including flexible high-speed 5G networks, smarter artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things and big data. Underpinned by ubiquitous hyper-connectivity, it will have a significant and positive impact on individuals, industries, society and the economy, transforming how we live and work.
The Internet of Things - billions of devices connected by mobile networks - provides the essential data that is necessary to fuel AI and machine learning, helping to improve decision-making and deliver higher quality and more efficient products and services.

Without security, today's vision for the Internet of Things cannot become tomorrow's reality. If customers cannot trust that their smart door locks, energy meters or smart home speakers are secure, and their personal data is at risk of being stolen or tampered with, the IoT cannot exist.
To unlock the full potential of the market, IoT devices and services must be secured, and companies have to take responsibility to embed security from the beginning and at every stage of the service lifecycle.
This seminar brings together leading industry experts from across the ecosystem and sheds light on current best practices as well as future developments and security mechanisms. The topics covered include:
IoT Security Today
- A live demonstration on hack recovery
- Industry code of conducts, standards, guidelines and assessment processes
Security Tomorrow

Preserving bees means protecting our food supply. With honeybees dying at higher rates, smart agriculture using LTE-M is one of the solutions in preserving this important species.
This demonstration shows how technology can be used to make beekeeping more efficient by automating data collection and analysis, bringing sensor data directly into the company's internal database. Using connected sensors inside the hives, beekeepers obtain valuable information on beehive health, parasite control, humidity, temperature and location for theft-protection to preserve the livestock of bees.

And don't forget to join the Mobile IoT Innovators networking reception and have a Mobile IoTini on us on Monday, 25 and Tuesday, 26 February, 18:00 ' 19:00.
LTE-M and NB-IoT, together also known as Mobile IoT, are low power wide area (LPWA) technologies in licensed spectrum that have been specifically designed for IoT applications that are low cost, use low data rates, require long battery lives, and often operate in remote and hard to reach locations. Since being standardised by 3GPP in June 2016, they have firmly established themselves as the prerequisite technologies in the IoT market and are now going truly global as key elements of the 5G future.
Expert Zone
Get your hands on live developer kits and talk to technical experts to understand IoT platforms, how to develop an IoT application, and more. Expert companies:
Building IoT Applications with NB-IoT and Arduino IoT Cloud
- Arduino
Making IoT technology simple, Arduino are showing how to create LTE-M or NB-IoT applications in minutes and how to secure, monitor and analyse your data. Martino Faccin, Senior Firmware Engineer at Arduino will be there to discuss your project and explain why the best way to understand IoT is to do it.
Developing End-to-End Solutions with NB-IoT
- Huawei
Huawei's wireless and engineering experts are demonstrating how their E2E solution is easing the design process for IoT developers and is enabling the rapid development of NB-IoT solutions. Welcoming developer pros as well as experimenting hobbyists, Lorenzo Viola, Senior Engineer, Testing & Reliability Engineering Centre, and Zaheen Khan, Head of Wireless Marketing & Strategy, will be on the stand to provide more information around NB-IoT, including building your first IoT project, downtime for rapid prototyping, simplifying the integration process, improving time to market and integrating with third-party APIs
Open Source Hardware for Industrial-Grade LTE-M & NB-IoT Applications
- mangOH
In a world first demo based on the new mangOH Yellow open source industrial-grade hardware, Sierra Wireless are illustrating how LTE-M and NB-IoT are accelerating the Industrial IoT. The interactive demo shows how two objects are efficiently communicating with each other via the cloud and LPWA connectivity, and let visitors interact with them. Thibault Cantegrel, Director of the Sierra Wireless Developer Program, will be welcoming you on the stand to drive you through the process of developing efficient LPWA IoT applications with mangOH.

Transforming Society Through IoT
Monday, 25 February - 11:30 - 13:00
Hall 4 Auditorium A
As a key driver of the fourth Industrial Revolution, developments in Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are bringing new and exciting opportunities to people's lives.
With 25 billion connected things projected to be in use by 2025, there are many questions to ask. What impact will this have on economic growth? How can an IoT enabled world encourage more financial, gender and minority inclusion across both urban and rural communities? And with added technology and complexity, is there a role for blockchain in managing IoT networks? In this session, we will focus on the transformative impact IoT is having on society and whether the technology can remain a cause of optimism for the future.
