\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCatchphrases catch on, at least in principle. Take the Internet of Things or IoT. It\u2019s easy for people to understand what it is. The internet, but for things\u2014at home, at work and in cars, factories, fields and mines. IoT is catching on, but why hasn\u2019t it caught on farther, faster? My theory is that fixed wires are holding IoT prisoner in homes, offices, factories, warehouses and industrial spaces around the globe. It\u2019s time to cut loose.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYou strategize, digitalize and implement changes according to plan. And still, your digital transformation project fails. You\u2019re not alone. Seven out of 10 industry digitalization projects never get off the ground, studies say.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYet have they really failed? Or were the projects designed to test digital technology for technology\u2019s sake without addressing the underlying challenge? The failure, I believe, is in the hypothesis\u2014not the test or the technology.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLet\u2019s face it. Change isn\u2019t easy\u2014least of all, technological change. But bridging the gap between cool digital technology products and the way they impact our lives doesn\u2019t have to be difficult. The faster we stakeholders come together to establish a unified language and can demonstrate \u2018why\u2019 digital technology should be used in the first place, the faster we will be able to transform how people work, live and play.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Moving from the wired platform of the now to a wireless future<\/h3><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIoT is here now. With mobile data traffic up 82 percent year-on-year and 5G uptake going even faster than anticipated, we can expect cellular IoT connections to follow suit. Today there are one billion cellular IoT connections in play. Five years from now, that number will triple to more than four billion.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBut questions remain. How do we move industry into the now? How do we move from wired to wireless networks to capture the promise of trillions of dollars in value that industrial IoT (IIoT) will bring? We only need to look at the history of the wireless networks to know how to deploy the network of the future. From connecting people on the move with mobile phones to connecting mobile industrial devices and machines with wireless networks.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A universal language will advance IoT<\/h3><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5G provides the foundation to realize the full potential of IoT.It provides higher reliability, lower latency and tougher built in security, yet, the lack of a common understanding or shared language throws up barriers to digital transformation success.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTake a public safety-first responder project I was involved in years ago. We stakeholders weren\u2019t speaking the same language. The municipality referred to \u2018edge\u2019 as the data visible to dispatchers at its network operations center. The drone company defined \u2018edge\u2019 as the computing and AI capability running in real time on the drone. We considered \u2018edge\u2019 the transport and compression capabilities to determine response time in the cellular network and on the drone. Technically speaking, all these are edge components.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat was more important\u2014and what we weren\u2019t communicating\u2014was the need for a reliable, low latency response to quickly put a first responder on the scene and to lower the potential casualty rate. Recognizing that need made it possible to pull together and move towards a common goal.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhether saving lives, time or money, it\u2019s critical to keep your eye on the prize and to communicate why digital transformation is a good thing. Speak a common language focused on results, not technology. Avoid technobabble, 3GPP jargon or exabyte-speak. Understand what people, typically IT and OT professionals, need. Then it\u2019s easy to advance IoT.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The 4Cs: Overcoming IoT barriers<\/h3><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThrough dozens of digital transformation projects, I have been struck by many an \u2018aha\u2019 moments. These are lessons, I believe, that differentiate IoT success from failure. It all boils down to four fundamental things required for digital transformation.\n
    \n \t
  1. Customer-centric design. From a custom running shoe and eyewear to custom food and medicine, people want products that meet their precise requirements. Done right, digital transformation projects that tailor anything to meet consumer needs generally succeed.<\/li>\n \t
  2. Collaboration. Wireless and web-scale platforms have demonstrated the power of collaboration and open source development for mobile broadband. Let\u2019s apply the same model for fast uptake to industrial IoT, recognizing that infrastructure and equipment for industries requires stronger private-public partnerships to deliver on the promise. Imagine the possibilities of democratizing industry data so it becomes possible to share. With improved industrial training models comes industrials improved ability to execute.<\/li>\n \t
  3. Convenience. Determine what product, service or process takes up most of your customers\u2019 time and then come up with ideas about how to make these easier and more convenient to use? Success depends on how well you identify a need and how well you meet that need. People value whatever makes their lives easier. Which is why convenience is the driving force that will make people and industries embrace new digital platforms and services.<\/li>\n \t
  4. Connectivity. Connecting things can be overwhelming, especially when there are many actors trying to sell proprietary one-off solutions. It\u2019s important to take stock of your company\u2019s digital IQ and DNA, and select a connectivity solution that is open, inclusive and meets your needs today and tomorrow. Standardization and interoperability deliver future proofing your digital transformation projects.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCustomization, collaboration, convenience, and connectivity are what\u2019s driving digital transformation today. I firmly believe that everything you do should be guided by these 4Cs. In the weeks and months ahead, I\u2019ll be diving deeper into the 4Cs so stay tuned.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
