IIC Releases IoT Testbeds ahead of IoT World Congress
The testbeds on display at the conference go beyond those developed in conjunction with IIC. “We run a competition to propose testbeds. The testbeds on the show floor are not just from IIC,” said Soley. “We’re trying to focus on the entire range of industrial IoT deployment. The middle of the show floor is not sold. It’s the testbed winners from the jury. There were 70 applications, and the jury chose the 10 best testbeds.”
IoT World Congress is set in Barcelona, Spain each year. “World Congress began as a partnership between IIC and Fira four years ago. We thought there was a huge interest from the vertical industries,” Roger Bou, innovation director for IoT World Congress, told Design News. “We chose Fira and Barcelona because it’s between Asia and Europe and because they can handle large events. IoT World Congress has been doubling its size year after year.”
