President and CEO, Wi-SUN Alliance

“A lot of education is still needed for those looking to implement IoT initiatives, especially when selecting the right technology. Security is also proving to be a significant barrier to adoption. Organisations must understand the level of protection and the associated risks of different network solutions and choose the very highest security levels available for their IoT networks.

Open standards and interoperability are critical to those developing, designing, or procuring IoT and they must also give careful consideration to levels of reliability, latency and security, to make sure that these all match up with the needs and goals of the organisation.”
