Enabling a New Era of Industrial IoT with Free-Use Wireless Spectrum

#Discussion(IoTStack) [ via IoTGroup ]

With the increasing use of robots, cameras and IIoT devices and sensors, robust, low-latency and secure wireless connectivity for mission critical applications is required by enterprises to enable new operational technology solutions.
One way to solve the problem is building open source, private cellular connectivity and the 5G connected edge cloud for enterprises.
This can be a catalyst for accelerating smart enterprise digital transformation with open source, software-defined cellular connectivity and tightly integrated cloud native edge compute on COTS hardware.
Warehouses, manufacturing floors, retail, smart enterprises and represent four mission critical enterprise applications that require low-latency connectivity to infrastructure, with much higher reliability, privacy and security than offered by either Wi-Fi or national mobile operators.

Considering above, open source 5G LTE connectivity is ideally suited to host the virtualized OT applications and platforms and offers low latency communication with QoS for these to communicate with the field plan infrastructure.
The edge compute workloads are highly available as a result of the self-healing orchestration of micro-services via Kubernetes Data sovereignty and control: Some data can’t be in the cloud and needs to stay local, either because of proximity to the source of data or the cost of shuttling the data between private infrastructure and the cloud.
. This allows enterprises to retain top-down programmable control of their systems and data, in turn, allowing enterprises to control their own destiny and avoid becoming locked into any single hyper-scaler’s ecosystem Security : Open source will comply with 5G
