SXSW Panel: "Network All the Things: What About Infrastructure?"

Echelon Corporation:

What: Kicking off the first day of SXSW (News - Alert) Interactive is a panel on "Network All the Things: What About Infrastructure?" The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is different from the Human Internet of Things (HIoT). The expectations-for reliability, performance and need to integrate with long-lived existing industrial 'things'-are much greater for the IIoT. Some leading experts in IIoT infrastructure will discuss why the short-term opportunity for the IIoT dwarfs that of wearables and other HIoT solutions looking for a problem... at least, for those who understand the infrastructure rules of the game.

Who:
Panel Moderator:
Mike Krell, analyst, Internet of Things, for Moor Insights & Strategy, a leading technology industry analyst and disruptive strategy firm dedicated to advising and solving problems at the ecosystem intersections between client computing, cloud computing and datacenters. @MoorInsStrat

Panelists:

• Dave Friedman, CEO and co-founder of Ayla Networks, provider of the industry's first Agile (News - Alert) IoT platform, accelerating development, support and ongoing enhancements of connected products for the IoT. @aylanetworks
