 About the Tutorial

Professional IoT Applications Development training utilizing IoT Educational and Innovation Labs

Tutorial Level: Advanced

Tutorial abstract:

This is a tutorial session on building professional IoT Applications Development training programs utilizing IoT Educational and Innovation Labs. This is an excellent information sharing tutorial utilizing our long experience and successful program for building Egypt IoT Labs and various IoT training curriculums.

In this session, audience will learn what should be in an IoT Lab to provide professional training programs for IoT Application Developers, IoT System Integration Engineers and IoT Solution Architects as well as providing a quick executive management live training with live demos and live use cases for smart cities.

in this tutorial we will explain and detail all IoT Value Chain components that should be available inside a professional IoT Educational and Innovation Lab including IoT Innovation Kits, Commercial IoT Devices,

IoT Gateways for various wireless technologies (including SigFox, LoRaWan, BLE, WiFi, etc.) as well as IoT Application Enablement Platform that represents the most important component for application developers and system integrators and we will explain how those components are all gathered together in an educational environment for learning as well as a commercial live environment for live demonstration.

A professional IoT Educational and Innovation Lab enables both of the training service provider organization and educational organization (Hi Tech institutions or universities) to offer list of IoT Professional training curriculum courses including

Hands-on IoT applications development offered through Expert IoT lab.

– IoT Value chain (devices, LPWAN wireless technologies, gateways, carrier networks, application enablement platforms, analytics platforms, device management platforms)
