NB-IoT allows IoT devices to operate over carrier networks such as GSM and "guard bands" between LTE channels. NB-IoT needs only 200kHz of bandwidth and can efficiently connect large numbers of endpoint devices (up to 50,000 per NB-IoT network cell). Its low power requirements makes it ideal for use in small, uncomplicated IoT gadgets such as smart parking, utilities and wearables.

Most of today's IoT connections are industrial. Industrial IoT (IIoT) connections require Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technologies to provide connectivity, coverage and subscription capabilities for low bandwidth applications. Although these requirements could be served by existing cellular networks, such networks may not be ideal. NB-IoT (Narrow Band IoT) technology offers a promising solution.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn about the various aspects of NB-IoT (also known as LTE Cat NB1) as they develop and deploy a sample NB-IoT based application.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Identify the different components of NB-IoT and how to fit together to form an ecosystem.
• Understand and explain the security features built into NB-IoT devices.
• Develop a simple application to track NB-IoT devices.

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

Advances in technologies and the increasing amount of information are transforming how business is conducted in many industries, including government. Government data generation and digital archiving rates are on the rise due to the rapid growth of mobile devices and applications, smart sensors and devices, cloud computing solutions, and citizen-facing portals. As digital information expands and becomes more complex, information management, processing, storage, security, and disposition become more complex as well. New capture, search, discovery, and analysis tools are helping organizations gain insights from their unstructured data. The government market is at a tipping point, realizing that information is a strategic asset, and government needs to protect, leverage, and analyze both structured and unstructured information to better serve and meet mission requirements. As government leaders strive to evolve data-driven organizations to successfully accomplish mission, they are laying the groundwork to correlate dependencies across events, people, processes, and information.

High-value government solutions will be created from a mashup of the most disruptive technologies:

• Mobile devices and applications
• Cloud services
• Social business technologies and networking
• Big Data and analytics

IDC predicts that by 2020, the IT industry will reach $5 trillion, approximately $1.7 trillion larger than today, and that 80% of the industry's growth will be driven by these 3rd Platform technologies. In the long term, these technologies will be key tools for dealing with the complexity of increased digital information. Big Data is one of the intelligent industry solutions and allows government to make better decisions by taking action based on patterns revealed by analyzing large volumes of data — related and unrelated, structured and unstructured.

But accomplishing these feats takes far more than simply accumulating massive quantities of data.“Making sense of thesevolumes of Big Datarequires cutting-edge tools and technologies that can analyze and extract useful knowledge from vast and diverse streams of information,” Tom Kalil and Fen Zhao of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy wrote in a post on the OSTP Blog.

The White House took a step toward helping agencies find these technologies when it established the National Big Data Research and Development Initiative in 2012. The initiative included more than $200 million to make the most of the explosion of Big Data and the tools needed to analyze it.

The challenges that Big Data poses are nearly as daunting as its promise is encouraging. Storing data efficiently is one of these challenges. As always, budgets are tight, so agencies must minimize the per-megabyte price of storage and keep the data within easy access so that users can get it when they want it and how they need it. Backing up massive quantities of data heightens the challenge.

Analyzing the data effectively is another major challenge. Many agencies employ commercial tools that enable them to sift through the mountains of data, spotting trends that can help them operate more efficiently. (A recent study by MeriTalk found that federal IT executives think Big Data could help agencies save more than $500 billion while also fulfilling mission objectives.).

Custom-developed Big Data tools also are allowing agencies to address the need to analyze their data. For example, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Computational Data Analytics Group has made its Piranha data analytics system available to other agencies. The system has helped medical researchers find a link that can alert doctors to aortic aneurysms before they strike. It’s also used for more mundane tasks, such as sifting through résumés to connect job candidates with hiring managers.

Insurtech (a.k.a Digital Insurance) refers to the convergence of insurance + new technologies.

Estimates for Internet of Things or IoT market value are massive, since by definition the IoT is an integrated and diffused layer of devices, sensors, and computing power that overlays entire consumer, business-to-business, and government industries. The IoT will account for an increasingly huge number of connections: 12 B by 2019 and 100B+ by 2025.

In the consumer space, many products and services have already crossed over into the IoT, including kitchen and home appliances, parking, RFID, lighting and heating products, and a number of applications in Industrial Internet.

The underlying technologies of IoT are nothing new as M2M communication existed since the birth of Internet. However, what changed in last couple of years is the emergence of number of inexpensive wireless technologies added by overwhelming adaptation of smart phones and Tablet in every home. Explosive growth of mobile devices led to present demand of IoT.

As DLT become more understood in recent years and its capability to solve enterprise business use cases become evident, technologist have been exploring Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) (such as Blockchain or IOTA) to solve use cases that have been daunting industries for years. Unlike existing technologies, one of the key features of DLT is its unparalleled capability to provide, traceability, accountability and immutable records that can be accessed at any point in time. One application area of interest in DLT is securing heterogenous networks. The technology has to be secured, immutable and offer real time transaction.

Course Objective

1. Give introduction of migration of centralized cloud based IoT to decentralized edge based IoT (with example of smart car charging, P2P energy grids)
2. Drawing the layers of vulnerability at each stack and between the stack
