Steve Bell, Senior Analyst, Heavy Reading

Charlie Ashton, Senior Director, Business Development, Wind River

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a huge opportunity for communications service providers, simply because of the sheer scale of investment it will attract and the business impact it will have globally. This webinar will explore the critical factors and obstacles that communications service providers need to be aware of as they consider the development of their network architecture to address the market and meet the expectations of customers. Steve Bell, Heavy Reading's senior IoT analyst, will talk about the landscape and some of the strategies that mobile operators have adopted to address the market. He will also talk about how embracing software-centric and cloud-hosted core networks will better position operators to match infrastructure to increasingly diverse services at a relatively low incremental cost. This approach also enables early-stage implementation of LTE network slicing, which will be a key enabler of IoT and is a core component of the 5G vision since it enables "the many services on one network" concept.

Wind River is the leading supplier of carrier-grade NFV infrastructure platforms. Charlie Ashton will talk about the need to underpin these IoT systems and services with a high reliability and secure backbone network to ensure the critical applications have the primary connection they require when they need it. Charlie will also identify how the Titanium Server virtualization platform and Titanium Cloud ecosystem can help overcome the many identified challenges and maximize the IoT opportunity.
