The International standards landscape for IoT in SmartHomeir. Carmelo Zaccone
Carmelo Zaccone - Skylane & ETSI member - EN
The Internet of Things requires and encourages the development of standards and protocols to enable heterogeneous devices to communicate and take advantage of common software applications. Several standardization initiatives currently exist, within various standards development organizations (SDOs), through partnerships or industrial initiatives involving several market players with common economic interests. During this session an overview of this standards landscape will be given.

POF has recently emerged as a low-cost alternative to traditional twisted pair copper cabling in Home & SoHo. POF offers several benefits to the user amongst which the ease of installation is particularly significant (can even be cut with a simple pair of scissors). POF is lightweight, robust & uses red LED which makes it safe for the user’s vision. This feature is of extra benefit to the installer because this light is extremely clear for the eye & therefore help to diagnose if the data communication link is operational.
Significant upgrades on access technologies have enabled operators to deliver to their subscriber bandwidth capacities such as symmetrical Gigabit connection.
CatchUP TV, VR, gaming, HD/4K such as FacebookLife pushes another limit to the transmission inside the houses that only a simple, fast, unbreakable, performant & low-priced technology can answer. These progresses advocate for the lifting of the house networking infrastructures to be complemented with a sustainable & reliable network backbone reaching every rooms.
Partage de knowhow TIC et mise en œuvre de ponts technologiques

Overview of the ICT ecosystem of Wallonia - AWEX, Procolombia and App.co ir. Carmelo Zaccone
AWEX, Procolombia and App.co - ICT businessmen intending to settle down in Colombia
End 2014 a trade mission to Columbia, headed by H.R.E. Princess Astrid of Belgium, led a delegation of nearly 300 companies to establish business relations with the Columbian market. Building on its success, the Walloon agency of exportation (AWEX) organizes a second trade mission, headed by Jean-Claude Marcourt minister of economy and digital, in Bogota on June 18 to 19.
Regarding the Digital Economy, Belgium and Columbia share common views on innovations and entrepreneurship. Procolumbia, MinTIC and AWEX have decided to strength these opportunities of partnerships and mutual international expansion of our tech companies & startups.
En complément du programme principal, un tour d'entreprises TIC Canadiennes est organisé, pour la délégation TIC, par l'AWEX en collaboration avec l'AWT, le cluster TWIST et l'Infopole. Le circuit, en cours d'élaboration, sera basé sur une sélection d'entreprises innovantes.

-- IoT, from a geek buzzword to a multi billion business economy -- ir. Carmelo Zaccone
-- IoT, from a geek buzzword to a multi billion business economy --
After so many years of living in the shadow of geeks and computer freaks, Internet of Thing is finally gaining momentum. The concept of computer's controlled equipements (eg. M2M, WSM) is probably as old as the ICT industry. Nowadays this field of the industry is widely known as the Internet of Things and it's closely binded to two others majors technology trends such as Big Data & Semantic Web.
Indeed, the extension to the residential home automation (eg. Lockitron keyless door, Nest thermostat, Lifx lightbulb, Koubachi plant monitoring, Fifthplay or HW-Group energy & water monitoring) & wellfare/well-being (eg. Withings Fitbit body scale, Everspring Co2/Temperature/Humidity) businesses, the health/fitness domains (eg. Withings blood pressure & heart monitoring), the entertainment arena (eg. Netflix or Apple OTT set-top boxes, Interaxion brain wiring, Samsung SmartTV), or the broad set of dailylife objects such as wearable computing (eg. Google or Vuzix glasses, i'm or Sony Smartwatches, Jawbone or Nike+ wristband, Hydratech O.R.B rings) have raise huge interest and awareness in the global economy.
The way these connected devices gets financed is also going disruptive. While various project still get funding through the classical models of business angels and VC, the trend of crowdfunding sites (eg. Kickstarter, Indigogo) enable entrepreneurs to kick off without any shares dilution.
Most business successes are often binded to technology evolution, standardisation organisation (eg. IEEE, IETF, GS1/EPCglobal,ITSA) and international consortium (eg. IoTC, Wearable Technologies , GSMA Connected Car).
The IoT business count numerous of these from last meters wireless harvesting (eg. bluethooth, zigbee, z-Wave, EnOcean, WiFi, LiFi, RFid/Mifare), embedded system hardware platform (eg. Arduino, Raspberry PI, Open picus, Ninja Blocks) to infrastructure & data protocol (eg. 6LowPAN, http RESTfull, EAN ONS, Fibaro) and software developper frameworks (eg. OpenRemote, SmartThings, App.net, Sen.se). Even our cars becomes connected leaded by automotive players such as Ford Sync/Applink, BMW ConnectedDrive, Renaud R-Link, Audi Connect, Toyota Entune, GSMA MirrorLink, etc.
Belgium is a country full of clever entrepreneurs and counts numerous startups acting in this connected world: Skylane open.yoursen.se, Vision Smart pic2shop, Arguslabs Jini, TagTagCity, Carambla, Getyoo, Vigo Robotics, Enerban, Selinko, Nomics, HMI Products, Uniwan, etc
The Walloon region also hold two technology clusters for that field, Infopole Smarthome & Infopole Connected Objects. It as also some dedicated research centers such as CETIC, IBBT, Multitel, etc.
By 2020, analysts predict that the planet will count 50 billions device connected to the Internet. This incredible crow is leading a immensely large business which will reduce the border between the real world and the virtual digital one.
Future Internet Week - IPv6 the way forward: IPv6 and security from a user’s ...ir. Carmelo Zaccone
This workshop will start with a presentation of results of a study that was conducted for the European Commission on IPv6 and security. This will be followed by presentations from a technology provider who will focus on the security issues related to IPv6. The last presentation will be done by an organisation that has implemented IPv6 and it will share its experiences with the focus on security. At the end of the session, there is a Q&A.
