The Internet of Things (IoE) is expected to bring billions of dollars in business opportunity over the next decade. The current market for communication systems enabling IoE is highly fragmented, and the revenues are being shared among multiple incumbents, many of those operating in the small and medium enterprise space. The IoE market is serviced by a number of wireless technology domains from Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) technologies for health, automation and other personal area applications, but also by wide area technologies. Both standardized and proprietary wireless solutions utilizing unlicensed Industrial, Science and Medical (ISM) bands are in use.

Organized by the World Wireless Research Forum (WWRF), the goal of this workshop is to bring together the representative industry views from different wireless domains for discussion and debate on the roles, co-existence and collaboration of these wireless domains. The workshop will comprise of invited presentations and panel sessions, primarily by industry experts.
