The Internet of Things suffered several setbacks during its long hype cycle in coping with complex deployments. Having overcome the daunting challenges in the initial stages of IoT development, the industry is poised to take advantage of the massive deployment of IoT devices in the 5G era. Private cellular networks are envisioned to create a secure environment for remote monitoring, analytics, and control of automation, using data generated by pervasive sensors. But has the ecosystem evolved to avoid the pitfalls this time and how does private 5G change the IoT landscape for the short and long-term? Let’s find out!

Our guest for this episode is Landon Garner, the Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer of KORE Wireless. He is a veteran in the IoT space with broad experience working at many companies such as Integron, Ingenu, and Taoglas that solve different pieces of the IoT jigsaw puzzle. 

In our discussion today, we will uncover a few things, such as: 

-        How will 5G impact the adoption of IoT and create opportunities to exploit new AI-enabled digital services?

-        What were some of the learnings from the initial stages of IoT deployment that will influence its prospects in the 5G era? and

-        How do CIOs conceptualize the trade-offs of IoT deployments and guard against the pitfalls of their deployment in the enterprise?

So, let us welcome Landon Garner.
