IoT Sparks
Workshops Day

Deploying IoT at scale is rarely just about the technology—it is an organisational, operational, and financial commitment that requires a clear strategy from day one. In this hands-on workshop, we will look beyond the theory and share a practical blueprint for companies looking to kickstart or scale up their IoT journey.

Drawing on firsthand experience supporting global IoT deployments, we will dive into a structured understanding of how successful projects are actually built, and more importantly, what causes them to fail. This session is all about collaboration, sharing lessons learned, and preparing your teams for the field.

• Lab vs. Reality: Why deployments that work perfectly in controlled environments often behave very differently in the field, and how your teams can plan for it from the start.
• Common Pitfalls: The hurdles that catch most organisations off guard—from underestimating device/gateway management at scale to vendor integration complexity and the hidden burdens of on-premise infrastructure.
• Total Cost of Ownership: What to factor in beyond hardware, including long-term maintenance, mass provisioning, and the internal expertise required to keep everything running smoothly.
• Network Planning & Radio Mapping: Practical guidance on coverage assessment and signal validation to ensure your deployment works where it matters most: in the real world.

Attendees will leave with a concrete, actionable framework — and the awareness to avoid the surprises that catch most organisations off guard.
