Presentation: Designing Connectivity for Autonomous Operations at Scale
Moving from proof-of-concept to production requires a fundamental rethink of connectivity design. Drawing on real-world deployment experience, this session examines how to architect networks that can support autonomous operations across complex, distributed environments. From balancing private 5G with LPWAN to ensuring deterministic performance and uptime, this talk delivers a pragmatic blueprint for scaling intelligent systems without compromising reliability.
10:35 - 11:20
Panel Discussion: Foundations First: Building Resilient, Multi-Network Architectures for Mission-Critical IoT
As IoT systems evolve into mission-critical infrastructure, resilience is no longer optional. This panel brings together industry leaders to discuss how organisations are combining LPWAN, private cellular, Wi-Fi and satellite IoT into unified, fail-safe architectures. The conversation will delve into redundancy strategies, intelligent failover, and edge networking design, offering attendees actionable insights into building connectivity layers that can withstand disruption while enabling continuous, autonomous operation.
11:25 - 11:55
Presentation: Private 5G Meets Edge: The Blueprint for Industrial-Grade Wireless
Private 5G is moving beyond hype into high-impact industrial deployments. This session explores how organisations are integrating private cellular networks with edge compute to unlock ultra-low latency, high reliability and enhanced data sovereignty. Attendees will gain insight into deployment models, integration challenges and the tangible business outcomes being realised, from smarter factories to autonomous logistics environments.

Lunch Break
14:35 - 15:20
Panel Discussion: Device Identity in the Age of Autonomy: Trust, Security and Lifecycle at Scale
As autonomy scales, so too does the attack surface. This panel examines how organisations are rethinking device identity as a foundational pillar of security and trust. Topics include secure provisioning, lifecycle orchestration, credential management and the growing role of eSIM/iSIM in enabling trusted connectivity. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to build robust identity frameworks that can scale alongside their connected ecosystems.
15:25 - 15:45
Presentation: Satellite IoT and the Rise of Truly Global Coverage
For industries operating beyond the reach of terrestrial networks, satellite IoT is emerging as a critical enabler. This session explores how advances in low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites are delivering cost-effective, low-latency connectivity for remote assets. From energy and agriculture to maritime and logistics, learn how satellite is closing the coverage gap and enabling truly global, always-on operations.
15:50 - 16:10
Presentation: LPWAN at Scale: Powering Cost-Efficient Infrastructure Monitoring
LPWAN technologies continue to underpin large-scale IoT deployments where power efficiency and cost are paramount. This session provides a practical overview of how organisations are leveraging LPWAN for applications such as smart utilities, environmental monitoring and asset tracking. Gain insight into deployment strategies, performance trade-offs and how LPWAN fits within broader hybrid connectivity architectures.
16:10 - 16:40
Networking Break
16:40 - 17:00
Presentation: Connectivity as the Backbone of Physical AI
As AI moves from the cloud into the physical world, connectivity becomes the critical enabler of real-time intelligence. This session explores how leading organisations are combining edge networking, distributed compute and robust connectivity to power robotics, autonomous vehicles and industrial AI systems. Expect real-world examples that illustrate how infrastructure decisions directly impact AI performance and scalability.
17:05 - 17:25
Presentation: Edge-to-Cloud Continuum: Enabling Real-Time AI Inference at the Network Edge
The future of AI lies in distributing intelligence closer to where data is generated. This session examines how organisations are designing edge-to-cloud architectures that support low-latency inference, efficient data processing and seamless orchestration across environments. Attendees will gain a forward-looking perspective on how to build infrastructure capable of supporting the next generation of autonomous, AI-driven applications.
