The embedded ecosystem knows that running AI models on microcontrollers and sensors can reduce latency, power consumption, and the need for bandwidth. But where is AI having the greatest impact first? This panel will discuss cutting edge (pun intended) IoT-driven applications for AI and tiny ML, including predictive maintenance, real-time image/audio classification, anomaly detection, and more.
Low-Power Wide Area Networks, combined with newer technologies like sleep modes, energy harvesting, and dynamic voltage scaling, can now routinely extend battery life for remote devices to over a decade. This panel will cover how LoRa, NB-IoT, and LTE-M are combining with new technologies to reduce power consumption in massive IoT deployments, with emphasis on the latest use-cases.
Keeping Over-the-Air Updates for firmware dependable has been a major challenge in the fight to reduce servicing costs and improve the security lifecycle of IoT devices. But now, a flood of new techniques is coming to the rescue, including signed firmware, A/B partitioning, local caching, hardware keys, and bootloading. This session will discuss how networks and firmware are combining to take the fear out of OTA updates.
