Internet of Things (IOT) is one of a major use cases of 5G technology. This presentation provides brief overview of IOT technologies, spectrum availability and regulatory challenges with respect to Pakistan.
Passive Optical Networks (PON) technology
brings an evolution in the industry of Telecommunication for the
provisioning of High Speed Internet (HSI) and Triple Play
bundled Services that includes Voice, Data, and Video Streaming
throughout the world. In Pakistan most of the service providers
are offering broadband services on traditional copper OSP
(Outside Plant) network since 2000. Demand for the high speed
internet and broadband is increasing rapidly, it is desired with
great need to migrate from traditional copper based OSP network
to PON – FTTx (Fiber To The x) infrastructure. Considering the
geographical requirements in Pakistan a scalable fiber network is
required which can be optimized as per the user’s requirements
and demands with high speed bandwidth efficiency, involving the
minimum losses and with ideal capital expenditure (CAPEX). In
this work a platform for migration from copper to fiber access
network with a scalable and optimized PON – FTTx
infrastructure in green field and dry field areas of Pakistan have
been proposed using Geographic Information system (GIS). In
any developing country like Pakistan having the same cultural
and geographical topology, this platform can be used to migrate
from copper to fiber access network to provide the PON based
telecom services. The developed platform for migration from
copper to PON based fiber has been studied, planned, and then
simulated on a selected geographical area of Pakistan with
physical execution that showed better and efficient results with
reduction in capital and operational expenditures. A factual plan
without ambiguities assists the operators of Pakistan to
analyze/forecast bandwidth requirements of an area, optimized
network planning along with the in time and efficient
deployment.

What is required in order to leverage Internet of Things in order to meet sustainable goal on sustainable cities and communities - case study of Malaysia
Internet connectivity has become increasingly important for both consumers and enterprises. But their connectivity needs differ significantly from each other. Telco operators so far have monetized on the needs of consumers while providing similar solutions to enterprises. As the revenues from consumers saturate, operators now eye upon the possible revenues generated by addressing enterprise use cases.
The private network is one such connectivity product that caters to industrial connectivity needs in various sectors. In the presentation, I have explored the global trends paving way for the success of the private networks, the problems it addresses in various sectors, and finally the projected revenue that Indian operators can generate by 2030 with this product.
IoT integration means the combination of IoT data, IoT platforms, IoT devices, and IoT applications with IT assets (legacy data, SaaS, mobile, and business application) that work together in the context of executing end-to-end IoT business solutions.
IoT integration helps customers and companies to drive the digital transformation initiative to the next level. Since technology is changing day by day, integration needs to move at an accelerated level and speed.
IoT is predicted to be the huge industry with billions connected devices and enormous volume of data generated. Even Big Data will not be big enough if it is not for IoT. Telecommunication industry is destined to play some role here and this role will certainly be opening the gates to the Internet for a massive number of sensors, objects and devices. However, it is expected that connection part of the IoT value chain would vary from 0 to mere 10 percent leaving the largest portion of created value to other industry players. CSPs are definitely in the show but are the last and the least in the guest list.
Not all opportunities gone, though, and some telecommunication majors transform the business and sophisticate the product lineups to capture more value going forward. There is still time for many CSPs to figure out how to take themselves from M2M mindset into the IoT paradigm through reimagining the business and building the ecosystem before the boat is missed altogether. Where trends are heading to, what products are first to be delivered and where in the value split CSPs can have more impact? I have shared my vision on this matter and would be grateful for receiving any of your thoughts too.

National information infrastrcuture_Rrecommendations to Deptt of Electronics ...Prakash Kumar
Recommendation on Policy and Institutional Mechanism for National Information Infrastrcuture presented to Department of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India
To meet the new connectivity requirements of the emerging IoT segment, 3GPP has taken evolutionary steps on both the network side and the device side. A single technology or solution cannot be ideal to all the different potential IoT applications, market situations and spectrum availability. As a result, the 3GPP standardizing several technologies, including Extended Coverage GSM (EC-GSM), LTE-M and NB-IoT.
LTE-M, NB-IoT and EC-GSM are all superior solutions to meet IoT requirements as a family of solutions, and can complement each other based on technology availability, use case requirements and deployment scenarios. The evolution for these technologies is shown in figure #5. Technical studies and normative work for the support of Machine Type Communication (MTC) as part of 3GPP LTE specifications for RAN began in 3GPP Release 12 and are continuing with the goals of developing features optimized for devices with MTC traffic.
Evolving technologies and changes in user preferences require ICT regulators to react dynamically and in an agile manner to facilitate fair competition and protect consumers.
The lines between sector- and subject-specific regulators may need to be redrawn. In some cases, more specialised regulators may need to be established, eg a data protection agency or a spectrum agency.
Evolving technologies also provide ICT regulators opportunities to become more effective and fine-tune tools. Big data and advances in AI allow regulators to become agile and dynamic, enabling precision, evidence-based regulations.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
