See: http://www.iot-inc.com/meetup-do-wide-area-network-operators-need-a-new-business-model-for-iot/ In our fourth Meetup we have Luke D’Arcy, Director of SIGFOX USA presenting, “Do Wide Area Network Operators Need a New Business Model for IoT?” Come meet other business leaders in the IoT ecosystem and discuss the business issues you face in the Internet of Things. http://www.meetup.com/The-IoT-Inc-Business-Meetup-Silicon-Valley/ Presentation Abstract A new breed of wide area networks, collectively called Long Range, Low Power (LRLP) Networks, are starting to appear on the radar for IoT device makers. LRLP networks have already been installed in several European countries. Coverage will soon be available in parts of the US. Proponents of LRLP networks claim that they offer a combination of wide area coverage, low power and low cost that is ideal for the IoT. But device makers already have mature technologies such as Bluetooth, WiFi, Zigbee, and cellular at their disposal. Can it be possible for any new network, particularly a wide area system that normally requires expensive network infrastructure, to offer something new? Luke D’Arcy, Director of SIGFOX USA, will provide insight into the arguments for and against dedicated wide area networks for the IoT, focusing on the following questions: Are LRLP networks different enough to enable new business models for wide area network operators? What business characteristics do these networks need to offer to be attractive compared to both cellular and short range wireless? What new business opportunities can these networks enable for device makers and operators?
