Episode #8: Network capabilities and emerging technologies to support IoT-enabled verticals
This webinar was part of ITU’s webinar series on Digital transformation for cities and communities.
Episode 8 was jointly organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), China Information and Communication Technologies Group (CICT), China Mobile, China Unicom, National Company for Support of Digital Development/Transformation (EADN), Huawei, Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd and Tencent.
As the application of IoT-enabled verticals continues to expand and diversify, so do the network functions and capabilities required to support them. This episode examined how emerging technologies are enhancing network architecture and providing new capabilities to ensure reliability, security, and interoperability for IoT-enabled verticals. The episode also placed a special focus on the role of international standards in capturing these developments and elevating best practices that would benefit cities and communities that are looking to scale up different IoT use cases and accelerate digital transformation.
