Like many sectors, utilities is being fundamentally transformed by the Internet of Things. The evolution of utilities sector is already underway and according to IBM Applied Insights<\/a>, the energy and utilities industry is the second largest vertical in terms of spending for IoT related products, solutions and services.
\nNonetheless, the enormous potential of the IoT is not yet being fully realised by those in the utilities sector. The industry needs to work together to ensure that connected solutions operate securely, safely and cost effectively.
\nThis is the purpose of the GSMA\u2019s Utilities Special Interest Group<\/a><\/strong> meeting in Orlando 10 February. This interactive meeting is a unique opportunity for key\u00a0players from utilities and smart grid companies, mobile operators, developers and vendors to discuss how cellular M2M and IoT can create new opportunities in the utilities sector. Those attending will benefit from finding out new case studies, best practices, the latest low power wide area technologies and the GSMA IoT Security Guidelines; which will help enable connected solutions to securely scale.
\nAmong one of the key contributors to the quickly evolving utilities sector, are mobile network operators, who are able to provide wide area connectivity for a range of new connected solutions in this sector. Operators, with their extensive knowledge of many markets across the globe, are already active in this space, having partnered with many of utilities companies seeking to deliver cutting edge services.
\nAs IoT continues its rapid advance, consumers and businesses will begin to demand more sophisticated and energy-efficient solutions. For those seeking to discover how to capitalise on the IoT opportunity in the utilities sector, this event is a must.
\nSpeakers include experts from AT&T, Duke Energy, Sierra Wireless and the GSMA. The event is conveniently located near Distributech, in the Double Tree, Sea World Hotel in Orlando. Register now<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
