Webinar Overview
Brought to you by the IET’s IoT Technical Network, this presentation with Q&A, will begin with market value statements from the world’s largest analysts. Having positioned the value to Businesses of the IoT, we will then begin with a high-level description of /what the IoT is, from remote sensor, through IoT gateway, to the components in a Cloud.
We will then go into a little technical detail about how sensors and IoT gateways communicate, and then we will move on to outlining how the IoT messaging works inside a Cloud.
We will then explain the importance of data analysis, and then on to remote device management, and upgrades.
No manufacturers names or brands are mentioned anywhere, however, we do highlight technical areas to be aware of, to make sure that an IoT solution will work. We also explain how to avoid vendor “lock-in” to any hardware or cloud-based solution.
This presentation will be useful for a wide audience, who might have interests at the remote data gathering entry point of an IoT network, or for those consuming data at the application.
Which key topics will the event cover?
- MQTT
- Industry4.0
- IIoT
- Lessons Learned in IoT
- Amazon Web Services
- AWS IoT & On-Prmise based Cloud
- Hybrid Cloud
- AWS DynamoDB & MongoDB
- Avoiding vendor lock-in, in the IoT space
You should register for this event because…
It will highlight business and commercial issues to be aware of and guidance on how to work with vendors to avoid or mitigate issues.
It will help an architect avoid serious operational issues by discussing several technical points to be aware of
You will have the opportunity to ask the presenter on everything from remote sensor, through IoT Gateway, to Cloud, whether the applications are hosted on premises or in the Cloud
Speakers :
Mike McKean
Vice Chair
IET IoT Technical Network
Mike has 42 years practical experience in electronics, radio, and IoT technology. His day job is working with very large enterprise companies, where he holds a sales role. He is involved in IoT projects, working with the world’s largest Systems Integrators, on very sensitive IoT projects.
Mike is also a Prince2 project manager and has worked with (again) very large banks on various projects. In 2018 he helped scope, and project manage and sell a 1,000 Node Compute Grid Fabric to a large global bank (details confidential due to NDA), for their trader floor.
Mike’s hobby is electronics and IoT. He has built many IoT type devices from PCB design, to Gerber Files, Logic Circuits, Programming and on to integration with a commercial Cloud; Mike uses Amazon.
He also an IoT independent/volunteer advisor for the UK Military Defence Science and Technology Laboratory which is a UK Ministry of Defence Agency. In this role he is involved with very large military aligned Systems Integrators. In late 2019, he was asked to give a technical presentation on MQTT, in a military environment.
