IoT and Security – Commnexus Panel Video!

Thank you Commnexus for uploading the video from last week’s M2M SiG panel discussion on the topic of “Making M2M Secure and Economically Viable”. We had an excellent and interactive discussion with the audience and the panelists. Sunvir Gujral from Qualcomm’s Alljoyn organization did a great job as moderator. I was very fortunate to be able to bring together panelists from companies like Viasat, Verizon Wireless, Intedigital, and my friend Neeraj, the CEO of Tagnos. I wanted to get perspectives from people like Neeraj Bhavani, who is actually deploying hospital M2M solutions, Viasat’s Ian Alison, a “hacker” who knows how to break into M2M systems, Verizon’s David Prill representing the carrier perspective, and Interdigital’s Phillip Brown who is in charge of standards in M2M.

 

 

 

 

Please see the video to get a good feel for the various views, and also to see the very interactive participation with the audience! Again, thank you to Commnexus, Latham and Watkins for hosting, and all the panelists for a great event!

Comments on Gartner’s Top 10 trends that will transform mobile between now and 2015

Tech Republic just posted this article listing Gartner’s top 10 trends that will transform mobile between now and 2015: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/hiner/top-10-trends-that-will-transform-mobile-between-now-and-2015/9543

In my opinion, another missing trend is Wireless Health, so I’m wondering if Gartner thinks that all the issues with payments, etc will not make it a trend… Hoever, given how much money Qualcomm is investing in it, plus with Continua driving the standardization to enable easier device development, I would think this would make the list before Augmented Reality, which I am not too certain about.

As far as M2M, there are far more other standards to look out for, including Zigby, as well as deeper developments in the data analytics, as was obvious from the last CTIA!
