Assets on the Move - Remote Asset Management

It’s been said that “time is money” and luck is about being at the right place at the right time. In remote asset management, the key is to always know where your assets are – and what state they’re in when opportunity calls. This panel discusses temperature sensing, location/delivery tracking, and a range of fleet management issues.

The Evolution of Remote Monitoring and M2M Solutions for the Healthcare Industry

For many conditions, healthcare provider office visits are being replaced by home monitoring, thanks to wireless technologies. Numerex works with global medical device manufacturers, managed care providers, and accountable care organizations to enable wireless monitoring, and in the process, the growth of this increasingly popular practice. This session would spark discussions around hot topics including wireless device standards and FCC compliance mandates, POTS plain old telephone service migration within households and how this affects inhome healthcare services, and new technologies across wireless medical monitoring devices.

The Best Care Anywhere: Heart & Hearth

Pressure on hospitals to release patients as soon as possible does not change the need for doctors to continue monitoring their patients. Heart Attack patients need to be monitored since often they have reoccurences. This session covers the use of remote health care systems to track the status of patients. Home is where the Heart is and thanks to these systems the heart can be home a lot more.

Remote Patient Care: No Longer Out of Sight or Out of Mind

Tracking Alzheimer’s patient is not about the diagonistics but about the location. Many Alzheimers patients live at home or at a facility where the grounds are designed for their comfort. However the patients disorientation can lead to roaming. Monitoring location is essential for the quality of life. This session covers the use of remote health care systems to track the whereabouts, and the status of patients.

The Network’s Role in Advancing M2M Innovations

With a forecasted 15B connected devices by 2015, and 50B by 2020, the proliferation of M2M implementations creates an enormous potential for added complexity to the network.

Pursing areas of commonality where verticals and ICTs converge is essential for discovering the features/functions and parameters to support a common M2M service platform.

Establishing a "Trusted Environment" for all entities associated with vertical services and applications is the imperative of the ATIS M2M Focus Group, and will be the topic discussed at this session.

Standards for Mobile Services

The world of the carrier is filled with work orders that delegate work and track workflow. However traditionally this has been an internal document, but with the world of M2M the carrier has a greater roll in deliver and testing a complete experience. TIA has been looking at the implementation requirements for M2M solutions and will present their strategy to make M2M a routine service request from carriers.

Making Rapid Deployment a Reality for M2M

Implementing an M2M strategy can seem daunting, as many issues converge during rollouts. This is where partners with experience make all the difference. The session discusses how partners can speed up deployments, and provide quality assurance that reduces costly errors.

Solving the Back End with Platform Solutions

With the diversity of sensors, we cannot say that once “we’ve seen one M2M sensor, we’ve seen them all.” But there is a need for commonality when it comes to items like configuration, monitoring, managing and reporting. How can platforms for the backend enable greater diversity and more flexible strategies, while streamlining the economics for M2M? This panel answers these questions and many others.

Why is the Smart Grid an M2M Market?

Why is the Smart Grid an M2M Market?The Smart Grid Market is affected by price fluctuations in supply that make it hard for companies to have a business case that stays on track, regardless of the market. M2M represents a stabilizing force when determining the ROI of a project. This discussion looks at benefits to the SmartGrid, regardless of price fluctuations in the market.

Smarter Solutions for the Smart Grid

Ironically, as most carriers talk about dumb networks, most utilities see the SmartGrid as being utility centric. The real question is: “what are the opportunities for really smart applications, and how can they be delivered?” Are the smarts really in the grid, or at the edge?

The Smart Grid takes I.T. to make it work

With all these machines, it’s logical that integration is a key component, and the SmartGrid is one place where traditional IT integration services are finding customers in need of their services. This session will evaluate what’s driving the opportunities for SmartGrid IT and it will discuss how it translates into other vertical opportunities.
