Multi-access edge computing (MEC), virtualised network function (VNF) and 5G give service providers powerful new ways to maximise scalability, flexibility and operational efficiency while enabling new services and revenue streams.

Industry-wide collaboration will be the driving force behind a global adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT), according to IoT organisations and stakeholders who gathered in Bengaluru, India at the third oneM2M Industry Day, which was hosted by Telecommunications Standards Development Society India (TSDSI) in September.

The growing momentum behind a horizontal, standards-based approach to further evolve the Internet of Things (IoT) will be on show at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Americas, with numerous oneM2M member companies speaking and exhibiting at the event.

Technology companies from around the world gathered to advance adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) through increased industry co-operation, as the global IoT standards initiative oneM2M held its second successful Industry Day on Wednesday, July 13 in Memphis, TN.

In today’s market, segments of the broader IoT ecosystem have been under-served, especially small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and mid-sized cities. However, this oversight will change over the next several years as these entities seek to embrace the efficiencies and cost reductions that enterprises and government agencies are achieving through IoT implementations.

iconectiv CTO and oneM2M representative, Suresh Subramanian will discuss regulations and standards within the Internet of Things (IoT) industry and highlight security updates from oneM2M’s official set of specifications (Release 2) when he takes part in a panel discussion at IoT Security this week.
