The Internet of Things (IoT) is ready for us, but are we ready for it? A lot of people and organizations still have a lot to learn about IoT and how it can help them out in their everyday lives and operations. This is why the IoT industry will gather at the Embedded World 2022 conference in June 2022.
The event will be from June 21st to June 23rd 2022 in Nuremberg, Germany. Embedded World is the global platform for the embedded community. It brings together all sectors and niches from the IoT industry to showcase their possibilities. If you want to learn more about the IoT world and enter it or you want to create new business opportunities, or simply are eager to expand your horizons, this is the place to be.
Innovations abound
IoT is driven by innovations a lot more than other sectors. While the IoT concept as a whole isn’t new, it’s just now starting to expand its actual abilities. And it’s still barely scratching the surface of what’s possible. Embedded World 2022 will showcase innovations in the sector and will cover the entire spectrum – components, modules, complete systems. It will also focus on operating systems, hardware, software and services.
The event will make use of the IoT technologies for itself as well. A Talque platform will “enable the entire embedded community distributed around the globe to participate in embedded world”. The digital platform will also feature a map with all exhibitors.
Of course, the event schedule will also reflect the hunger for innovations. It will include conferences, keynotes and discussion panels as does every such event. But it will also have roundtables, startup pitches and an exhibitor forum.
There will also be classes to learn on specific IoT projects and technologies. For example, introductions to Embedded Linux, to the Rust programming language and more. There are also special classes for Yocto projects, Embedded Cloud Services and Ultra Low Power Hands-On Workshop to help you learn about the specifics of small IoT devices and sensors.
The Embedded World 2022 schedule also features exhibitor demonstrations, roundtables and key notes from big industry names like Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, EMC, Siemens, SuSE and many more. Open-source technologies will enjoy plenty of attention with special discussions and demos.
Infrastructure is important, too
Of course, IoT relies heavily on the internet infrastructure. If we want to enjoy the full benefits of IoT devices and sensors, we need proper internet access for them. That can be a challenge, because we are talking about billions of tiny devices literally everywhere – embedded in the asphalt, in garbage bins, in street lights, in the crop soil, in the plumbing, AC systems and everywhere else. And some of these devices will be on the move – like those in utility vehicles, autonomous cars, etc.
So, wireless internet access is the only way to go. Creating and maintaining them is going to be a big challenge and the industry is already working on it. Of course, this will be a big topic during the Embedded World 2022 event. Special discussions for Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) networks and applications will take place. 5G networks are also on the discussion docket along with low-power Wide-area networks and the LoRaWAN LR-FHSS modulation technology – the discussion for that will be on June 21st.
HeliumMart is here, too
Embedded World 2022 is going to be a massive event. And The People’s Network will of course be in Nuremberg, too. HeliumMart organizes a Helium Meetup event on June 20th, also in Nurеmberg. It’s not affiliated with Embedded World or the Helium Foundation, but it will be a separate event leading up to the big conference.
The Helium Meetup will feature speakers with extensive experience in the Helium and IoT worlds. It will also host 4 keynotes on the latest trends for 300 guests from the Helium and IoT community. Main focus areas will be the Helium ecosystem, smart cities and smart homes.
Of course you will be able to ask and find out about other Helium-related projects and possibilities, too. After that, a networking party will allow the guests to mingle, exchange contacts and ideas for their projects. Event partners include MerryIoT, Browan, Helium Deutschland, Ahead, MClimate and you can meet their representatives there, too. So, if you are going to Embedded World 2022, come a day early to also join the Helium MeetUp and make the most out of the week.
