What is the Right Security for My IoT Implementation?
1:00 pm EST/12:00 pm CST
What is the Right Security for My IoT Implementation?
The IoT market is evolving and so must our understanding of what it means to be secure. Whether we are concerned about data privacy, anti-counterfeiting, or device integrity, the underlying thread is that all these applications utilize some form of security. Along with the acknowledgement that we need our IoT device to be more secure, we also need to understand what sort of solutions are available in the market and when to choose what sort of solutions. Lastly, security just for its own sake may not be enough for an embedded developer to implement a new device, so we will take a brief look at how one might extract additional value from a secure element class device.

The Important Role of Test & Measurement in IoT Device Development
3:00 pm EST/2:00 pm CST
The Important Role of Test & Measurement in IoT Device Development
The range of applications and use cases in the IoT has placed a great deal of pressure on the test and measurement aspects of wireless systems design to ensure not only the desired performance for the application in question, but also address compatibility and operation in a crowded multispectral operating environment.
Today’s wireless systems designer need to keep three things in mind, among others. First is to test the device to verify proper functionality, then it must be tested for wireless system compatibility, and then it must be confirmed to be in compliance with the regulatory environment of the market being served. In this technical session we’ll cover these and other aspects of wireless product development.
