InterDigital at Enterprise IoT Summit: Standards-Based IoT Essential for Maximizing Smart City Investment
March 27 2017 - 8:30AM
Ahead of the company’s participation in the debut Enterprise IoT
Summit in Austin, TX (March 28 and 29), Jim Nolan, InterDigital’s
Executive Vice President, IoT Solutions, has a clear message:
responsible and intelligent deployment of IoT technologies,
particularly in Smart Cities, requires the adoption of
standard-based solutions.
“Whether it’s through the adoption of established standards like
oneM2M™ or the increasing role of 5G technologies that address
Massive Machine-Type Communications, responsible deployment of
technology requires the future-proofing and guaranteed
interoperability that standards are designed to drive,” said Mr.
Nolan. “A study by Machina Research last year showed that, in Smart
Cities alone, deployments could squander $341 billion, or 30% of
the cost of implementation, if they adopt non-standard solutions.
In an area where so much spending will be driven by publicly-funded
infrastructure development, it’s essentially a matter of
responsible government to make a standards-driven technology
choice. In other areas of IoT, which the World Economic Forum
states could comprise two thirds of global GDP over the next
decade, that 30% savings is just good economic and business
sense.”
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile technology research
and development company, will participate in a keynote panel at the
