ARM mbed Connect is proud to reveal the details of four guest speakers slated to appear at mbed Connect US! These experts from across the mbed Ecosystem will be addressing a variety of hot topics in IoT. You can view the entire program here!

Develop IoT and wearable products quickly using Hexiwear and mbed

Gregory Camuzt - Business Development Manager for Startup Solutions, NXP

The need for connected devices with long battery life, small form factor and impenetrable security has remained a constant during the expansion of the wearables market. This presentation will highlight the existing product development challenges for IoT and wearables markets and explore options for fast IoT development. The Hexiwear platform, an optimized, expandable and complete IoT development platform based on ARM Cortex-M Microcontrollers, is one of the fastest ways to create devices using ARM MCUs.

Assuring IoT device performance, quality and security throughout the device lifetime

Stephen Douglas - Solutions & Technical Strategy, Spirent Communications

To guarantee the long term performance, quality and security of IoT devices, the industry needs a standardized way to remotely monitor and test IoT devices throughout their lifetime. Embedding test logic on the device and test services in the cloud while utilizing ARM mbed to provide device diagnostics allows for a new paradigm in remote testing. Cloud-based assurance analytics on the reported data provides the identification and prediction of when devices are not performing correctly, allowing for quicker reaction time.

Location on Internet of Things

Frederic Sevais - Senior Director of Products, Comtech

The rapid growth of IoT sensors poses a substantial logistics problem in keeping track of these devices. Delivering a robust indoor/outdoor location solution requires that the next generation of locations services be lightweight with respect to memory, bandwidth and power efficient, and distributable to support both cloud and local area network topologies common in IoT infrastructures. This presentation is an overview of Comtech’s distributed hybrid-location technology being developed for ARM Linux and mbed OS devices targeted for the specific needs of IoT.

Maximising business agility with ARM mbed for connected devices

Daniel Quaint - VP Product Development & Strategic Marketing, Multitech

Quant will discuss how the ARM mbed ecosystem brings all the pieces together to deliver intelligent connected solutions. Learn how to leverage ARM mbed on connected devices across multiple connectivity technologies in order to enable a smart, value-laden, industrial IoT solution. Technologies such as mbed, in conjunction with leading IoT solutions, introduce a newfound ability to better manage business applications and deliver intelligence to the edge of the network, significantly revolutionizing information flow across countless vertical markets.

Building trusted sensors in the IoT age

Kristopher Ardis - Executive Director, Maxim Integrated

More connected devices means more opportunities for attacks, and we're all exposed to news stories talking about the hacking of 'things'. The silver lining is that we are moving from people talking about how important security is, to people realizing that they must start securing their systems. Now is the time to 'do'. We'll talk about the concept of a trusted sensor, security tools available for building them, and walk through a practical demonstration of a trusted sensor node relaying its data to a cloud-based system.

We are counting down the last few weeks before mbed Connect gets underway and tickets are quickly disappearing. Make sure you register now to secure your spot for only $25 USD!
