IN-PERSON EVENT
Access Partnership, The Tower, Buckingham Gate, London, SW1E 6AS
As industries embrace automation, AI, and data-driven decision-making, the demand for resilient, always-on IoT connectivity is greater than ever. Agriculture, mining, healthcare, and other sectors rely on integrated networks to power productivity and innovation. But while complementary networks are technically advancing, regulatory frameworks haven’t kept pace. Fragmented rules, siloed licensing, and a lack of global coordination continue to limit progress.
In partnership with SSPI UK chapter, this panel event will explore what’s needed to deliver always-on IoT connectivity across borders and sectors, including regulatory reforms, spectrum access, security, and governance. Featuring representatives from industry, policy, and academia, this panel will unpack the regulatory and technical pathways to delivering always-on IoT connectivity, the impact of satellite and other forms of connectivity, and examine its wider societal impact, from privacy and security to inclusion and economic opportunity.
Following the panel discussion, attendees are invited to join us for drinks and networking.
Key themes:
- How complementary networks can enable always-on IoT.
- Where regulations are falling short, and what needs to change.
- The role of AI, security, and data governance in scaling IoT.
- Licensing and spectrum: unlocking global IoT at scale.
- The role of satellite connectivity in supporting always-on IoT solutions.
