Critical IoT

The future of critical communication will be defined by the Internet of Things (IoT). The technology landscape will be redesigned in particular with the rollout of 5G networks. Besides 5G, LPWAN technologies like NB-IoT, LTE-M, LoRa and MIOTY are technological trailblazers for innovative IoT applications that require reliable connectivity.

Critical IoT makes many applications possible, including:

• Industrial robotics
• Automated guided vehicle systems in networked factories
• Autonomous vehicles
• Remote monitoring and control

The requirements for critical IoT are extremely high: the systems must also function reliably under extreme conditions and be scalable in order to support networks with thousands of control systems, robots and machines. And they must be secure, to protect terminals and networks from threats and attacks.
