Programme Highlights

In Hong Kong, the Smart City Blueprint was announced in late 2017, which aimed to embrace innovation and technology to build a world-famed smart Hong Kong. Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the essential elements that thrives smart city projects. Nowadays, numerous IoT solutions and applications have been developed using emerging low-power wide-area (LPWA) protocols, namely LoRa, Sigfox, NB-IoT, etc. These LPWA protocols provide applications with large-coverage, low-power-consumption, and low-cost characteristics. When these network scale up, the overheads in the shared spectrum may be over crowded. As such, the massive IoT connectivity may incur potential challenges such as interference, request contention, network coordination, etc.  and thus, a network management should be in place to facilitate efficient harmonization. This presentation discusses the technical guidelines on large-scale IoT deployment and utilization. The implementation of pilot testbeds provided insights for the best practices of IoT harmonization. Finally, the case studies and evaluation of trial results will be discussed.

The webinar is supported by HKIE Manufacturing, Industrial and Systems Division, IET Hong Kong Electronics and Communications Section, IEEE CTOES HK Chapter, IEEE PSES HK Chapter, CIE Hong Kong, Connected Cities Alliance, Smart City Consortium
