tell you why. tell you why. >> He has courage. >> He has courage. >> He has courage. He has curiosity He has curiosity He has curiosity and you need cunning to play in the IoT and you need cunning to play in the IoT and you need cunning to play in the IoT game. Well, we were just we were just game. Well, we were just we were just game. Well, we were just we were just talking about what's going to happen talking about what's going to happen talking about what's going to happen with all this AI stuff getting really uh with all this AI stuff getting really uh with all this AI stuff getting really uh amazing and uh but no, my background amazing and uh but no, my background amazing and uh but no, my background though I I most recently was CEO of a though I I most recently was CEO of a though I I most recently was CEO of a private 5G company enabling all the high private 5G company enabling all the high private 5G company enabling all the high data applications like edge AI and uh data applications like edge AI and uh data applications like edge AI and uh autonomous vehicles but uh prior to that autonomous vehicles but uh prior to that autonomous vehicles but uh prior to that I enabled low data IoT stuff as the I enabled low data IoT stuff as the I enabled low data IoT stuff as the founding president of North America for founding president of North America for founding president of North America for six bucks. So both built a network six bucks. So both built a network six bucks. So both built a network covering 70 million people. So, I've covering 70 million people. So, I've covering 70 million people. So, I've gotten both both sides and so uh gotten both both sides and so uh gotten both both sides and so uh >> you are you going to tell the audience >> you are you going to tell the audience >> you are you going to tell the audience what your name is? what your name is? what your name is? >> Well, I did Alan from Eth. >> Well, I did Alan from Eth. >> Well, I did Alan from Eth. >> Oh, okay. All right. So, it's really >> Oh, okay. All right. So, it's really >> Oh, okay. All right. So, it's really >> and it's uh it's great to be here. >> and it's uh it's great to be here. >> and it's uh it's great to be here. Actually, this is I think my 20 year Actually, this is I think my 20 year Actually, this is I think my 20 year anniversary coming to NWC. So, anniversary coming to NWC. So, anniversary coming to NWC. So, >> congratulations. >> congratulations. >> congratulations. >> So, it's exciting to see the signs and >> So, it's exciting to see the signs and >> So, it's exciting to see the signs and all the booths change from uh 3G to 4G all the booths change from uh 3G to 4G all the booths change from uh 3G to 4G to IoT to AI now. So, it's exciting to to IoT to AI now. So, it's exciting to to IoT to AI now. So, it's exciting to watch that transition as well.

And there's going to >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And there's going to >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And there's going to be a hell of a lot of IoT or no AI, not be a hell of a lot of IoT or no AI, not be a hell of a lot of IoT or no AI, not IoT. You know, here's the weird thing. IoT. You know, here's the weird thing. IoT. You know, here's the weird thing. >> I think I'm going to get your reaction. >> I think I'm going to get your reaction. >> I think I'm going to get your reaction. I think I think I think IoT is the thing right now. People just IoT is the thing right now. People just IoT is the thing right now. People just don't know it at this conference. I I don't know it at this conference. I I don't know it at this conference. I I will I will tell you it's always been will I will tell you it's always been will I will tell you it's always been the thing, but I will tell you a secret the thing, but I will tell you a secret the thing, but I will tell you a secret if you don't tell anyone. if you don't tell anyone. if you don't tell anyone. >> No, no, no, no. It's not a thing because >> No, no, no, no. It's not a thing because >> No, no, no, no. It's not a thing because people have been dis disappointed by it people have been dis disappointed by it people have been dis disappointed by it and that's why this guy is now holding and that's why this guy is now holding and that's why this guy is now holding like IoT stars at like like IoT stars at like like IoT stars at like >> Estraa, right? >> Estraa, right? >> Estraa, right? >> You're you're >> You're you're >> You're you're >> everybody everybody is like moved on to >> everybody everybody is like moved on to >> everybody everybody is like moved on to thinking, hey, this all this stuff is thinking, hey, this all this stuff is thinking, hey, this all this stuff is >> I'll tell you why IoT is going to be the >> I'll tell you why IoT is going to be the >> I'll tell you why IoT is going to be the most exciting thing at this show because most exciting thing at this show because most exciting thing at this show because everybody's pushing AI. Okay. What is everybody's pushing AI. Okay. What is everybody's pushing AI. Okay. What is the lifeblood of AI? the lifeblood of AI? the lifeblood of AI? >> It's data.

>> It's data. >> It's data. >> Oh, come on. I was going to say >> Oh, come on. I was going to say >> Oh, come on. I was going to say something funny and then you ruined it. something funny and then you ruined it. something funny and then you ruined it. >> Data and and red wine, of course, in >> Data and and red wine, of course, in >> Data and and red wine, of course, in Spain. So, but without data, AI is Spain. So, but without data, AI is Spain. So, but without data, AI is worthless. What is the number one way worthless. What is the number one way worthless. What is the number one way you collect data about every aspect as you collect data about every aspect as you collect data about every aspect as aspect of your operational environment? aspect of your operational environment? aspect of your operational environment? IoT. IoT. IoT. So, there you go. IoT is going to be the So, there you go. IoT is going to be the So, there you go. IoT is going to be the feeder system that makes AI effective feeder system that makes AI effective feeder system that makes AI effective and valuable for us. You know what I and valuable for us. You know what I and valuable for us. You know what I love about you? love about you? love about you? >> You answer your own questions. >> You answer your own questions. >> You answer your own questions. >> Well, >> Well, >> Well, >> and by the way, you're doing very well. >> and by the way, you're doing very well. >> and by the way, you're doing very well. >> I'm trying to help you out. >> I'm trying to help you out. >> I'm trying to help you out. >> I don't know. No, you didn't. He didn't >> I don't know. No, you didn't. He didn't >> I don't know. No, you didn't. He didn't even He not only helped me out, he did even He not only helped me out, he did even He not only helped me out, he did it for me. Just like a genetic AI. it for me. Just like a genetic AI. it for me. Just like a genetic AI. >> Some of us drank less than others. Huh. >> Some of us drank less than others. Huh. >> Some of us drank less than others. Huh. >> Yes. I didn't really drink that much. >> Yes. I didn't really drink that much. >> Yes. I didn't really drink that much. I'm usually like this. I'm usually like this. I'm usually like this. >> Anyway, guys, I got to run, but thank >> Anyway, guys, I got to run, but thank >> Anyway, guys, I got to run, but thank you for the opportunity to you for the opportunity to you for the opportunity to >> Yeah. Yeah. No, that's really good >> Yeah. Yeah. No, that's really good >> Yeah. Yeah. No, that's really good opining. And uh opining. And uh opining. And uh >> and by the way, he make a really good AI >> and by the way, he make a really good AI >> and by the way, he make a really good AI agent.

You can just say, >> Next curve audience. You can just say, >> Next curve audience. You can just say, you know, just say whatever you want you know, just say whatever you want you know, just say whatever you want about IoT. about IoT. about IoT. >> You know, we got a really exciting time. >> You know, we got a really exciting time. >> You know, we got a really exciting time. I mean you know finally we got a AI that I mean you know finally we got a AI that I mean you know finally we got a AI that can contribute to the IoT you know the can contribute to the IoT you know the can contribute to the IoT you know the vision of IoT vision of IoT vision of IoT is has been looking for AI so that you is has been looking for AI so that you is has been looking for AI so that you know even if you so far even if you know even if you so far even if you know even if you so far even if you collect data you have to build the logic collect data you have to build the logic collect data you have to build the logic and write logic to take an action right and write logic to take an action right and write logic to take an action right but now you have an AI agent AI models but now you have an AI agent AI models but now you have an AI agent AI models that can understand the data and decide that can understand the data and decide that can understand the data and decide what you want you should do and send a what you want you should do and send a what you want you should do and send a command to make an action in the world command to make an action in the world command to make an action in the world And finally, you know, the vision of IoT And finally, you know, the vision of IoT And finally, you know, the vision of IoT that actually, you know, makes things uh that actually, you know, makes things uh that actually, you know, makes things uh happen with all these different kinds of happen with all these different kinds of happen with all these different kinds of devices. We are here today to make it devices. We are here today to make it devices. We are here today to make it happen. So, we are so excited. happen. So, we are so excited. happen. So, we are so excited. >> Awesome. So, you want to make the folks >> Awesome. So, you want to make the folks >> Awesome. So, you want to make the folks at IoT community happy.

Let's go towards the direction. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. >> Hello. What's the m of the what happens >> Hello. What's the m of the what happens >> Hello. What's the m of the what happens in the mundo? in the mundo? in the mundo? >> They happen in so many things but not so >> They happen in so many things but not so >> They happen in so many things but not so many business. I think many business. I think many business. I think >> not yet. >> not yet. >> not yet. >> Not yet. >> Not yet. >> Not yet. >> Why not? >> Why not? >> Why not? >> Why not? Because I think there are two >> Why not? Because I think there are two >> Why not? Because I think there are two points. The first thing is sometimes points. The first thing is sometimes points. The first thing is sometimes it's difficult to to explain to people it's difficult to to explain to people it's difficult to to explain to people what is IoT. So you need to talk not what is IoT. So you need to talk not what is IoT. So you need to talk not only about IoT, talk about business. How only about IoT, talk about business. How only about IoT, talk about business. How can I help you in a real way? How can I can I help you in a real way? How can I can I help you in a real way? How can I get money using this and that and that? get money using this and that and that? get money using this and that and that? And the second point, sometimes IoT is a And the second point, sometimes IoT is a And the second point, sometimes IoT is a kind of desire. It's a nice to have. But kind of desire. It's a nice to have. But kind of desire. It's a nice to have. But now there is a nice opportunity at this now there is a nice opportunity at this now there is a nice opportunity at this moment. There are some specific moment. There are some specific moment. There are some specific normatives especially in cyber security normatives especially in cyber security normatives especially in cyber security that maybe can go a good start for for that maybe can go a good start for for that maybe can go a good start for for developing IoT, adding AI and let me say developing IoT, adding AI and let me say developing IoT, adding AI and let me say combining together. But is this HI or combining together. But is this HI or combining together. But is this HI or something different?
-
something different? something different? >> H AI >> H AI >> H AI >> HAI or agentic with agents as well? >> HAI or agentic with agents as well? >> HAI or agentic with agents as well? >> I I'm coming from from industry world. >> I I'm coming from from industry world. >> I I'm coming from from industry world. So for me is H AI for sure. There So for me is H AI for sure. There So for me is H AI for sure. There there's going to be aentic AI but on IoT there's going to be aentic AI but on IoT there's going to be aentic AI but on IoT I think the the funny world is H AI at I think the the funny world is H AI at I think the the funny world is H AI at the end IOT gateway is a kind of H AI the end IOT gateway is a kind of H AI the end IOT gateway is a kind of H AI device. So you can go in this way. But I device. So you can go in this way. But I device. So you can go in this way. But I want trying to want to ask him a want trying to want to ask him a want trying to want to ask him a question because one of the things I see question because one of the things I see question because one of the things I see in IoT is we are always talking about in IoT is we are always talking about in IoT is we are always talking about the P is a damn word P. How we can go uh the P is a damn word P. How we can go uh the P is a damn word P. How we can go uh more more more over other over than this? How we can over other over than this? How we can over other over than this? How we can transpose that? How we can do that? And transpose that? How we can do that? And transpose that? How we can do that? And I think this is a nice question because I think this is a nice question because I think this is a nice question because sometimes it's difficult when I think sometimes it's difficult when I think sometimes it's difficult when I think about etching pools. I was talking to about etching pools. I was talking to about etching pools. I was talking to you. I think you are helping companies you. I think you are helping companies you. I think you are helping companies to develop AI models, right? But the to develop AI models, right? But the to develop AI models, right? But the point is for doing what? For doing PC's point is for doing what? For doing PC's point is for doing what? For doing PC's or for doing a scalable product. So I or for doing a scalable product. So I or for doing a scalable product. So I think it's a little different a little think it's a little different a little think it's a little different a little different thing. different thing. different thing. >> Well, I think one of the from what you >> Well, I think one of the from what you >> Well, I think one of the from what you just said like there are two things.
-
just said like there are two things. just said like there are two things. >> One of the things that you just said is >> One of the things that you just said is >> One of the things that you just said is like IoT could be dead but no not like IoT could be dead but no not like IoT could be dead but no not really. I think so. really. I think so. really. I think so. >> I think for me like IoT was a buzz word >> I think for me like IoT was a buzz word >> I think for me like IoT was a buzz word at some point. Now now it's it's been at some point. Now now it's it's been at some point. Now now it's it's been transferred to AI. like all the all the transferred to AI. like all the all the transferred to AI. like all the all the knowledge has been transferred to the knowledge has been transferred to the knowledge has been transferred to the device. device. device. Um Um Um so I'm I'm not really sure like where we so I'm I'm not really sure like where we so I'm I'm not really sure like where we should go. Uh I think you don't should go. Uh I think you don't should go. Uh I think you don't >> No. Wow. It's a pity. >> No. Wow. It's a pity. >> No. Wow. It's a pity. >> You don't have an answer. Come on. Let >> You don't have an answer. Come on. Let >> You don't have an answer. Come on. Let me me me >> could be fantastic, right? To know that. >> could be fantastic, right? To know that. >> could be fantastic, right? To know that. >> Well, I'm sorry. >> Well, I'm sorry. >> Well, I'm sorry. >> I think I just screwed it up. But do you >> I think I just screwed it up. But do you >> I think I just screwed it up. But do you think uh now that I have you both here, think uh now that I have you both here, think uh now that I have you both here, do you think that physical AI it's like do you think that physical AI it's like do you think that physical AI it's like the old IoT concept 15 years ago the the old IoT concept 15 years ago the the old IoT concept 15 years ago the same like there is nothing behind same like there is nothing behind same like there is nothing behind physical AI concept or or do you think physical AI concept or or do you think physical AI concept or or do you think there is something and there is something and there is something and >> I think it's marketing it's another buzz >> I think it's marketing it's another buzz >> I think it's marketing it's another buzz word the point is not talking about AI word the point is not talking about AI word the point is not talking about AI as as a word the thing is do you have a as as a word the thing is do you have a as as a word the thing is do you have a real problem how can I solve it how can real problem how can I solve it how can real problem how can I solve it how can I help you using IoT and AI technologies I help you using IoT and AI technologies I help you using IoT and AI technologies together maybe but if you are talking together maybe but if you are talking together maybe but if you are talking about AI or IoT at the end I realize about AI or IoT at the end I realize about AI or IoT at the end I realize it's my experience maybe it's not the it's my experience maybe it's not the it's my experience maybe it's not the best experience but it's it's not funny best experience but it's it's not funny best experience but it's it's not funny and it's it's nothing because you want and it's it's nothing because you want and it's it's nothing because you want to get business for for getting business to get business for for getting business to get business for for getting business you need to help people how can I help you need to help people how can I help you need to help people how can I help you and when I create the solution for you and when I create the solution for you and when I create the solution for you later if you want I can explain you you later if you want I can explain you you later if you want I can explain you that this is IoT this is AI this is an H that this is IoT this is AI this is an H that this is IoT this is AI this is an H AI device whatever you know but if we
-
AI device whatever you know but if we AI device whatever you know but if we talk only about IoT or physical AI or talk only about IoT or physical AI or talk only about IoT or physical AI or AI. Wow. We maybe we are going to to AI. Wow. We maybe we are going to to AI. Wow. We maybe we are going to to make the same mistakes we do in the make the same mistakes we do in the make the same mistakes we do in the past. I think so it's fast work for me past. I think so it's fast work for me past. I think so it's fast work for me for sure. I think physical AI is one for sure. I think physical AI is one for sure. I think physical AI is one step even further. Uh first we need to step even further. Uh first we need to step even further. Uh first we need to put some intelligence on the device and put some intelligence on the device and put some intelligence on the device and then you can actually act and do some then you can actually act and do some then you can actually act and do some more things. But uh first let's make more things. But uh first let's make more things. But uh first let's make sure the models that we put on the sure the models that we put on the sure the models that we put on the device are good enough to actually device are good enough to actually device are good enough to actually create the value that was much needed create the value that was much needed create the value that was much needed for IoT for IoT for IoT before trying to do some uh something before trying to do some uh something before trying to do some uh something else and put some other buzz word onto else and put some other buzz word onto else and put some other buzz word onto it you know I think that for me just a it you know I think that for me just a it you know I think that for me just a few words first thing is it's always the few words first thing is it's always the few words first thing is it's always the same same same we are talking about sensors IoT sensors we are talking about sensors IoT sensors we are talking about sensors IoT sensors intelligent sensors but the question is intelligent sensors but the question is intelligent sensors but the question is always the same for doing what Why do always the same for doing what Why do always the same for doing what Why do you need my sensors? What are you going you need my sensors? What are you going you need my sensors? What are you going to do with these sensors? And I think to do with these sensors? And I think to do with these sensors? And I think that is another important point that is another important point that is another important point especially at this moment when we are at especially at this moment when we are at especially at this moment when we are at the end. I I see IoT is a kind of the end. I I see IoT is a kind of the end. I I see IoT is a kind of complex integration hardware, software, complex integration hardware, software, complex integration hardware, software, fir communication. Now we are adding AI fir communication. Now we are adding AI fir communication. Now we are adding AI on top, right? So this is going to be on top, right? So this is going to be on top, right? So this is going to be more complex. So my point is try to more complex. So my point is try to more complex. So my point is try to create a kind of create a kind of create a kind of specific architecture for giving order specific architecture for giving order specific architecture for giving order on this kind of system. If you don't do on this kind of system. If you don't do on this kind of system. If you don't do that will be really complex.
-
that will be really complex. that will be really complex. Well there is another thing that I think Well there is another thing that I think Well there is another thing that I think we haven't scratched well we only we haven't scratched well we only we haven't scratched well we only started to scratch the surface of what started to scratch the surface of what started to scratch the surface of what we can do with with IoT we can do with with IoT we can do with with IoT without AI. So I I work in AI so I don't without AI. So I I work in AI so I don't without AI. So I I work in AI so I don't have much of benefits of saying that but have much of benefits of saying that but have much of benefits of saying that but there are so many other things that we there are so many other things that we there are so many other things that we can do with just having a different can do with just having a different can do with just having a different threshold like whether is a flood or threshold like whether is a flood or threshold like whether is a flood or whether there is a smoke that is above a whether there is a smoke that is above a whether there is a smoke that is above a certain level and this is only starting certain level and this is only starting certain level and this is only starting IoT has been a buzz word for the last 10 IoT has been a buzz word for the last 10 IoT has been a buzz word for the last 10 years and well I mean like we all have years and well I mean like we all have years and well I mean like we all have been working IoT been working IoT been working IoT not well and all sensors, technology, not well and all sensors, technology, not well and all sensors, technology, battery powered is now here. So there battery powered is now here. So there battery powered is now here. So there are so many things that we can do with are so many things that we can do with are so many things that we can do with AI with IoT. AI with IoT. AI with IoT. Let's first make sure that works and Let's first make sure that works and Let's first make sure that works and then we can put some more capabilities then we can put some more capabilities then we can put some more capabilities using AI. using AI. using AI. >> I kind of I kind of agree with um with >> I kind of I kind of agree with um with >> I kind of I kind of agree with um with what you said at the beginning that you what you said at the beginning that you what you said at the beginning that you need to find a business model. So IoT need to find a business model. So IoT need to find a business model. So IoT needs to help you to save money or make needs to help you to save money or make needs to help you to save money or make money. And I think edge AI it's the money. And I think edge AI it's the money. And I think edge AI it's the technology that facilitates uh or reduce technology that facilitates uh or reduce technology that facilitates uh or reduce the friction to find a proper business the friction to find a proper business the friction to find a proper business model for your IoT device.

model for your IoT device. model for your IoT device. Now we need to prove it on physical AI Now we need to prove it on physical AI Now we need to prove it on physical AI and more complex AI models. That's as and more complex AI models. That's as and more complex AI models. That's as well a reality right it it even well a reality right it it even well a reality right it it even facilitates more the a successful facilitates more the a successful facilitates more the a successful business model behind uh this IoT. But I business model behind uh this IoT. But I business model behind uh this IoT. But I think it's the one of the silver bullet. think it's the one of the silver bullet. think it's the one of the silver bullet. So we were always saying what's the So we were always saying what's the So we were always saying what's the silver I was saying the business the silver I was saying the business the silver I was saying the business the silver bullet for or the killer silver bullet for or the killer silver bullet for or the killer application for IoT I think hi is one of application for IoT I think hi is one of application for IoT I think hi is one of it really helps uh it really helps uh it really helps uh >> it will be more complex you know IoT was >> it will be more complex you know IoT was >> it will be more complex you know IoT was complex we say that now all is working complex we say that now all is working complex we say that now all is working but for doing what so imagine I don't but for doing what so imagine I don't but for doing what so imagine I don't know exactly what I'm what I'm going to know exactly what I'm what I'm going to know exactly what I'm what I'm going to do with this device connected and now do with this device connected and now do with this device connected and now I'm going to add on top AI layer for I'm going to add on top AI layer for I'm going to add on top AI layer for doing what for me it's always the same doing what for me it's always the same doing what for me it's always the same why we need HI If you have a problem why we need HI If you have a problem why we need HI If you have a problem right now, you digitalized all your right now, you digitalized all your right now, you digitalized all your ecosystem and now you have all the data ecosystem and now you have all the data ecosystem and now you have all the data unified in a single source of truth blah unified in a single source of truth blah unified in a single source of truth blah blah blah. Now you save that x amount of blah blah. Now you save that x amount of blah blah. Now you save that x amount of money on on your company because money on on your company because money on on your company because everything is digitalized. Uh the next everything is digitalized. Uh the next everything is digitalized. Uh the next question is with AI can I save or can I question is with AI can I save or can I question is with AI can I save or can I make money on the with my IoT product make money on the with my IoT product make money on the with my IoT product because of that? One of the things I see because of that? One of the things I see because of that? One of the things I see is with AI you can take more profit on is with AI you can take more profit on is with AI you can take more profit on data. You know one of the things I see data. You know one of the things I see data. You know one of the things I see in the past everybody is trying to in the past everybody is trying to in the past everybody is trying to collect data but the real truth is for collect data but the real truth is for collect data but the real truth is for doing what I don't know but uh I'm going doing what I don't know but uh I'm going doing what I don't know but uh I'm going to collect data and maybe I will know to collect data and maybe I will know to collect data and maybe I will know later now you have a new opportunity later now you have a new opportunity later now you have a new opportunity with AI you know
-
my god so no the real truth anyway at my god so no the real truth anyway at the end the point is not only talking the end the point is not only talking the end the point is not only talking about IoT H AI physical AI these are about IoT H AI physical AI these are about IoT H AI physical AI these are concepts the point is how we can do with concepts the point is how we can do with concepts the point is how we can do with that how we can help in a real way. So I that how we can help in a real way. So I that how we can help in a real way. So I think for me is the key point and when think for me is the key point and when think for me is the key point and when you identify that then you can define you identify that then you can define you identify that then you can define what is the business models or whatever what is the business models or whatever what is the business models or whatever but if if you don't know what do you but if if you don't know what do you but if if you don't know what do you want to do what is your customer needs want to do what is your customer needs want to do what is your customer needs and how you can help them and how you can help them and how you can help them for me I've been in IoT for several for me I've been in IoT for several for me I've been in IoT for several years it was a little dis I was a little years it was a little dis I was a little years it was a little dis I was a little disappointed so tell tell me a bit more disappointed so tell tell me a bit more disappointed so tell tell me a bit more about yourself like how long have you about yourself like how long have you about yourself like how long have you been in IoT for like what what's your I been in IoT for like what what's your I been in IoT for like what what's your I explain you yeah as I told you I came explain you yeah as I told you I came explain you yeah as I told you I came from electronic companies distribution from electronic companies distribution from electronic companies distribution for more than 30 years ago and I start a for more than 30 years ago and I start a for more than 30 years ago and I start a specific M2M division 10 years ago. Then specific M2M division 10 years ago. Then specific M2M division 10 years ago. Then we moved to IoT division. Okay. What we we moved to IoT division. Okay. What we we moved to IoT division. Okay. What we try to do in in in our position try to try to do in in in our position try to try to do in in in our position try to sell let me say uh chipsets and modules sell let me say uh chipsets and modules sell let me say uh chipsets and modules for communication for communicating for communication for communicating for communication for communicating sensors devices whatever but we see it sensors devices whatever but we see it sensors devices whatever but we see it was not not enough. Then we begin to to was not not enough. Then we begin to to was not not enough. Then we begin to to create some kind of integrations. we create some kind of integrations. we create some kind of integrations. we develop some specific PC devices in develop some specific PC devices in develop some specific PC devices in order to help companies to use these order to help companies to use these order to help companies to use these devices in his applications. What's the devices in his applications. What's the devices in his applications. What's the point I face is when you talk about IoT point I face is when you talk about IoT point I face is when you talk about IoT and all the benefits the customer at the and all the benefits the customer at the and all the benefits the customer at the beginning says wow looks nice could be beginning says wow looks nice could be beginning says wow looks nice could be interesting but when they have to to interesting but when they have to to interesting but when they have to to take a decision for invest on that take a decision for invest on that take a decision for invest on that sometimes or several times is a kind of

sometimes or several times is a kind of sometimes or several times is a kind of nice to have could be interesting but I nice to have could be interesting but I nice to have could be interesting but I don't have so much money I don't have don't have so much money I don't have don't have so much money I don't have clear value I I don't know exactly how clear value I I don't know exactly how clear value I I don't know exactly how to do that so we try to move on this to do that so we try to move on this to do that so we try to move on this position the next step we do in our position the next step we do in our position the next step we do in our company was to create a config solution. company was to create a config solution. company was to create a config solution. We integrate a a edge device with We integrate a a edge device with We integrate a a edge device with software we create in our site and we we software we create in our site and we we software we create in our site and we we think that Laura 1 could be a nice think that Laura 1 could be a nice think that Laura 1 could be a nice technology for connected devices. So so technology for connected devices. So so technology for connected devices. So so we create our own Loran gateway and we we create our own Loran gateway and we we create our own Loran gateway and we try to help to companies to deploy Loran try to help to companies to deploy Loran try to help to companies to deploy Loran networks in a very easy way. It was nice networks in a very easy way. It was nice networks in a very easy way. It was nice but at the end it was not enough because but at the end it was not enough because but at the end it was not enough because some people say I don't know what is some people say I don't know what is some people say I don't know what is Nora one why I need to use Law one I can Nora one why I need to use Law one I can Nora one why I need to use Law one I can use Naran so we move another step what use Naran so we move another step what use Naran so we move another step what is your problem so we try to go to is your problem so we try to go to is your problem so we try to go to facility management market and we say facility management market and we say facility management market and we say there they need to take to know what are there they need to take to know what are there they need to take to know what are the conditions on these facilities they the conditions on these facilities they the conditions on these facilities they want to improve all the services related want to improve all the services related want to improve all the services related to clean the the toilets so we begin to to clean the the toilets so we begin to to clean the the toilets so we begin to go to some application And we explain to go to some application And we explain to go to some application And we explain to customers look at I am going to explain customers look at I am going to explain customers look at I am going to explain you how do you have to do that I am not you how do you have to do that I am not you how do you have to do that I am not going to tell you nothing regarding IoT going to tell you nothing regarding IoT going to tell you nothing regarding IoT I am not going to tell you nothing I am not going to tell you nothing I am not going to tell you nothing regarding Luran this is not important regarding Luran this is not important regarding Luran this is not important for you for you for you >> and uh can you say a few words about >> and uh can you say a few words about >> and uh can you say a few words about your company like do you want to promote your company like do you want to promote your company like do you want to promote it over here it over here it over here >> sorry I don't understand I don't >> sorry I don't understand I don't >> sorry I don't understand I don't understand the question can you can you understand the question can you can you understand the question can you can you say a few words about your company name say a few words about your company name say a few words about your company name or well I was working in my company name
