Skylo Technologies has been making headways in providing enterprise-grade internet of things (IoT) solutions. It provides mission-critical use cases to industries such as logistics, farming, fishery, and railways. The company has recently announced a partnership with Inmarsat to deliver commercial NB-IoT solutions via satellite. Its Chief Operations Officer Angira Agrawal has vast industry experience across technologies like cloud, IoT, networks, and enterprise software. In an interaction with Hemant Kashyap, he talks about IoT, NB-IoT, and what the future holds in store for the industry. Excerpts:
How has the role of NB-IoT changed in the 21st Century?
Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) is a wireless communication standard for low power wide area networking (LPWAN) technology. This technology allows for a wide range of new IoT devices and services. Implemented well, NB- IoT creates new connected business models for traditionally ‘analog’ industries such as fisheries, agriculture, and logistics/supply chain with multiplier effects on the Indian economy.
IoT deployment will accelerate the vision of a true Digital India. It will connect millions of sensors and machines so that anyone can gain actionable insights vital to business proliferation. Disruptive IoT solutions have an opportunity to serve the underserved by bringing affordable and easy IoT to the critical machines that run our businesses.
NB-IoT is still being called a developing technology, where do you see NB-IoT in the next decade or so?
