Randy Van Buren is a Senior IoT Solutions Engineer at Nokia, currently focused on IoT service providers for cross-domain platforms spanning fixed, mobile, home, enterprise, and government. He has been involved with the largest operators in North America for identity, device, and subscriber profiles and their relationships across network access methods. Likewise, as a Senior Member of IEEE he is committed to standardization groups, academic rigor, and educational sharing of lessons learned. In his session on Remote Monitoring and Management with co-presenters Shu Gan of Numerex and Arthur Lozinski of Oomnitza, he will talk about systems fidelity and OTA updates.

IoT Evolution World: What will be some key points you plan to hit in your session?

IoTEW: What are the biggest challenges facing the IoT? What are some important tools needed to overcome them?

RVB: Many devices are unmanaged, with odd behaviors that need correcting in the field. Long term software lifecycle tools are needed.

IoTEW: Which vertical markets have the most to gain from IoT implementation?

RVB: Empowering home owners and farmers to be in self-sustaining to update and manage complex software embedded devices.

IoTEW: What session(s) (other than yours) are you most looking forward to attending at the Expo?
