IoT Conference participation by Qulix at Velcom Data Center
In the heart of Minsk, the Belarusian telecom operator recently hosted a conference to showcase the capabilities of its new Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) network and cloud technologies. The event, aimed at demonstrating the potential of the IoT network, attracted a significant number of businesses, who have shown high interest in the NB-IoT technology.
NB-IoT is a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) technology, developed by the 3GPP standards organization, designed for IoT applications that require low bandwidth and low power consumption. Typical use cases for NB-IoT include smart cities and homes, industrial IoT, agriculture, and transport and logistics.
Alexey Khodakovsky, IoT Solution Development Manager at Qulix Systems, stated that there are several possibilities for the technology's implementation. He also mentioned that businesses are drawn to NB-IoT because it offers a cost-effective way to connect devices in scenarios where low data rates are sufficient.
The conference, which featured the introduction of NB-IoT use cases by velcom and Qulix experts, did not provide specific details about the nature of these "interesting and smart things" that businesses are proposing for implementation. However, it is clear that the business sector is eager to explore the potential of NB-IoT in various sectors.
The new NB-IoT network in Belarus is designed for integrating and exchanging data between smart devices. Last year, the Belarusian telecom operator launched the first narrow-band network (NB-IoT) in the country. The telecom company invited Belarusian developers to its data center in Minsk for the event.
While the conference did not provide any new information about the collaboration between the Belarusian telecom operator and Qulix Systems on NB-IoT chipset integration, it is known that they have been working together in this area. It is also not clear from the article whether any specific businesses or projects have already been selected for the implementation of NB-IoT technology.
Despite the enthusiasm from the business sector, Khodakovsky noted that customers from the public sector are conservative about investing in the technology, expressing concerns about its benefits. The demonstration, however, served as a stepping stone towards increasing awareness and understanding of NB-IoT and its potential applications.
As IoT technologies like NB-IoT continue to evolve, businesses are looking to them to streamline operations, reduce costs, and provide valuable data for decision-making. The rapid growth of IoT across various sectors, including smart cities, consumer products, and industrial applications, suggests a promising future for NB-IoT in Belarus and beyond.
For specific details on velcom and Qulix Systems' NB-IoT implementations in Belarus, further research or direct inquiry with these companies would be necessary.
The conference highlighted the potential of NB-IoT technology in various sectors, such as industrial IoT, smart cities, agriculture, and transport and logistics, thanks to its cost-effective ability to connect devices with low power consumption and data rates. Alexey Khodakovsky, an IoT Solution Development Manager at Qulix Systems, spoke about the numerous possibilities for NB-IoT implementation, drawing businesses to this technology.
As businesses continue to explore the potential of NB-IoT, they are looking towards cloud technologies to facilitate data exchange between smart devices on the new NB-IoT network in Belarus. This network, designed by the Belarusian telecom operator, is expected to streamline operations, reduce costs, and provide valuable data for decision-making across various industries.
