The Rise of IoT

As one of the world’s leading wholesale service providers, the VPS team is highly knowledgeable about the ever-evolving telecoms landscape, and expertly identifies trends shaping the future of the industry.

Our AVP of Voice, IOT and Platforms, Dawane Young, will be joining a panel to discuss Verizon’s role in one of the largest and fastest-growing wholesale technologies, the Internet of Things, on May 8 from 2-3:30 p.m. in Swiss Tower, Gold Level, Lucerne 2 & 3.

The session will discuss the pace of growth in the IoT sector, and the need for stronger tech infrastructure and higher bandwidth speeds to support IoT innovation. Additionally, the panel discussion will focus on:

• Examples of how intelligent networks will support IoT
• IoT’s implications for the wholesale carrier network
• How carriers can create a pricing structure that yields ROI
• Ways carriers can leverage AI and machine learning to improve the IoT experience
• How carriers are supporting IoT as a catalyst for business innovation
• The carrier focus on terrestrial connectivity as the edge becomes more important in servicing IoT
• The importance of partnership and co-creation of services between carriers to provide a seamless experience

In response to IoT challenges, carriers have begun developing groundbreaking technologies to help ease the increased burden placed on organizations. Verizon’s ThingSpace IoT platform is an industry-leading solution that offers developers the tools needed to create successful IoT solutions by consolidating essential functionalities, including devices, connectivity, cloud services, data/device management and development kits, into a single access point.
