Developing Secure, Low Cost, Low Power Solutions with Cellular IoT at CES2020
Start: Wednesday 8 January 2020 13:30
End: Wednesday 8 January 2020 17:00
Venue: MGM Grand, Rooms 261, 262, 263, Conference Center Level 2
Location: Las Vegas, U.S.
LTE-M and NB-IoT are low cost, low power wide area (LPWA) cellular technologies that combine long battery lives with extended indoors and outdoors coverage.
With networks, tariffs, modules and developer toolkits at the ready, all it needs are innovative product and solution developers to build the next generation of IoT devices.
Join one of three workshops where technical experts from leading companies in the mobile industry will help you to:
- Understand the potential and technical capabilities of cellular IoT
- Learn about the end-to-end development of IoT solutions
- Understand why and how to build in security from the beginning
This event is free to attend and a CES pass is not required.
Complimentary networking lunch is provided from 1:30 – 2:00pm.
Technology Partners
Who Should Attend?
The workshops are practical hands-on sessions aimed at hardware and software developers/engineers, technical decision makers, IoT solution architects and similar who are working on the connectivity aspects of their products and solutions.
You may either look to break into the IoT space, or you may already have an offering and are looking to improve your solution with LTE-M/NB-IoT.
This event is not suitable for students.
Required Kit
You will need to bring your own laptop on the day. We will send you instructions on how to pre-load software before you attend, so keep an eye on your inbox.
Complimentary lunch and refreshments will be provided.
Workshops
We are running three parallel workshop streams. Find out more about each workshop below, and then choose which stream you’d like to attend when applying to register.
Stream 1: Arm & Arduino
Low-Code Business Applications with Mobile IoT
Arduino will give you practical steps to connect business logic with IoT sensor data securely and faster than ever before using Arduino IoT Cloud. Arduino is the world’s leading open-source IoT ecosystem with 30 million users worldwide. Built on Arm technology, a new generation of Arduino solutions brings professional users the best of both worlds in terms of simplicity of integration and a scalable, secure, globally available service.

| Time | Agenda |
| 1:30 – 2:00pm | Networking Lunch & Registration |
| 2:00 – 2:10pm | Welcome & Introduction |
| 2:10 – 2:40pm | Setup We’ll setup the Arduino MKR NB 1500 and build some simple demo programs to get you started. You will learn about the board, its components and how you can build connected devices with it. |
| 2:40 – 3:00pm | Hello IoT World We’ll build a simple device you will be able to control and monitor anywhere in the world with cellular coverage. |
| 3:00 – 3:30pm | Connecting the Device You will connect the device over cellular to the cloud. This only requires a few simple clicks to achieve, but behind the scenes is using industry standard X.509 certificate-based authentication and an onboard crypto chip to secure the data. |
| 3:30 – 4:00pm | Building IoT Applications We’ll experiment with controlling the device from the cloud, and connect sensors to the board and show how the data can be monitored in the cloud and used in other applications. |
Stream 2: Sprint Curiosity
In this workshop, learn how to leverage Curiosity IoT – the network built for software – for connectivity, device and data management of Mobile IoT solutions, as well as security best practices, including the advantages of using dedicated servers. Technical experts from Sprint and Packet will also demonstrate application enablement and services consumption for IoT solutions, as well as co-hosting application and analytics services in the mobile core.
Participants in this session will receive a free Curiosity IoT Development Kit to take home.

| 1:30 – 2:00pm | Networking Lunch & Registration |
| 2:00 – 2:10pm | Welcome & Introduction |
| 2:10 – 2:40pm | Curiosity IoT Curiosity IoT puts intelligence at the edge of the network by combining Curiosity™ Core, the first dedicated, distributed and virtualised IoT network — a network built for software — with Curiosity™ OS, an integrated IoT operating system |
| 2:40 – 3:00pm | Create an Edge-to-Cloud Pipeline Using Sprint’s Curiosity IoT Development Kit, and cloud-native, open source tools, learn how to process IoT data using Container Orchestration such as Kubernetes clusters and Docker Containers, utilising the Packet Cloud, alongside Sprint’s IoT Curiosity Platform. Developers will be demonstrated on the device on-boarding process, with a walkthrough of the Curiosity portal and the dev kit integration with a single board computer like Raspberry Pi. |
| 3:00 – 3:20pm | IoT Data Warehousing & Security Learn how the Curiosity OS securely communicates through a password protected API and using role based access, and traffic travels through redundant IPSec VPN tunnels. Set up secure centralised data stores using serverless computing in edge datacenters, while at the same time persisting data collected from sensor devices in a centralised SQL compatible BI data warehouse. See data collected from a Curiosity device to a data warehouse and explore existing data stores generated by a fleet of Sprint Curiosity edge devices. |
| 3:20 – 3:40pm | Function as a Service Learn how Sprint Curiosity OS integrates with Edge distributed function-as-service solutions. Function-as-service means that you only need to focus on the logic of your server-side application. Learn to author and deploy a simple serverless application invoking the function from a Sprint Curiosity OS enabled device. Connect to the nearest Packet edge datacenter for low-latency response and deploy your serverless application to multiple edge datacenters and devices from a single push. |
| 3:40 – 4:00pm | Q&A |
Stream 3: Telit
In this workshop, you will take the Telit ME910C1, one of industry’s most widely certified Mobile IoT modules for a test drive and also experiment with OneEdge, Telit’s software suite to secure and scale mobile IoT deployments with unrivaled ease. The ME910C1 is an LTE-M/NB-IoT module that’s tailored for IoT applications, offering compact size, low-power consumption and enhanced coverage.
As a participant in the workshop, you will receive Telit’s evaluation kit, mounted with an ME910C1 module free of charge.
