IoTTechspresso: NB-IoT for Disaster Relief (Applications of NB-IoT)

NB-IoT will be one of several technologies designed for low speed but long reach, key criteria for IoT networks. Devices like sensors and industrial equipment often are set up to operate for years in isolation with no service visits. Nearly 1.5 million devices will be connected to these so-called LPWA (low-power wide-area) networks by 2020, according to Machina Research. 

NB-IoT will provide for better indoor coverage, low latency, low device cost and a massive number of connected devices 

 In this talk we will discuss how NB-IoT opens up opportunities for number of use cases and applications not possible before. 

Benjamin has worked as a research engineer in Panasonic for more than a decade. He has worked in areas of IP mobility, mobility handovers and home networks contributing and learning from standardisation groups such as IETF, IEEE and 3GPP.

More recently, he was involved in the commercialisation, deployment and operations of a cloud-based energy management system for Panasonic’s air-conditioners and is currently involved in a project utilising a LTE platform for disaster relief efforts.
