“WUNDERBAR TOGETHER” WELCOMES IOT PLAYERS TO THE BAY AREA
This September, Co-Founder of MatchX and CEO of MXC, Sheen Xin Hu traveled to California to pitch in front of IT-industry experts and investors, going backstage with some of the IT giants, engaging deep discussions with policymakers, shedding light on why Berlin is called the “next Silicon Valley”.
MatchX has been awarded the honour of being selected to represent the German’ Start-Up ecosystem devoted to facilitating the exchange of expertise and opinions within the framework of campaign “Wunderbar together“*.
*Wunderbar together is the motto of the Year of German-American Friendship. From October 2018 until the end of 2019, over 1,000 events between the East and West coasts of the USA will show that the two countries are close and share many values and experiences.
At the beginning of September, MatchX engaged in meetings with representatives of the tech giants of Silicon Valley, as well as American and German politicians.
In addition, MatchX had the rare chance to participate in an exclusive pitch event “Industrie 4.0 Startup Showcase”, powered by EIT Digital with the support of the German American Business Association (GABA). At this pitch event, MatchX and 7 other startups presented their innovative products and solutions in everything from computer vision, robotics, wireless communications, artificial intelligence, IoT, and Blockchain technology. CEO, Sheen Xin Hu also managed to meet some of our key investors based in the Bay City area.
I believe these kinds of activities will not only enhance German — American cooperation in the field of science, business and politics, both at the governmental and business levels but also will be a good example of healthy cooperation between states and promoting sustainable development. — Sheen Xin Hu, Co-Founder & CEO of MatchX
Company visit: IoT Players in the Bay Area
Ericsson: Showcase of 5G platform
Ericsson, a Swedish multinational networking and telecommunications company, launched a 5G platform that will open new horizons for further development of IoT and what is the most important that it will boost data-heavy applications like Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality.
These are just some of the use-cases of 5G:
- Broadband and media everywhere
- Smart vehicles, transport
- Critical services and infrastructure control
- Critical control of remote devices
- Human-machine interaction
- Sensor networks
There is an ongoing development and spreading of 5G around the world bringing IoT to a new level. The synergy of both, LPWA and cellular networks, is the future of IoT.
Cisco: LoraWAN gateways
Cisco is another worldwide leader in IT, networking, and cybersecurity solutions, that also produces LoRaWAN gateways. Cisco unveiled the IoT Platform Kinetic that will help to extract, compute, and move data from your connected things to various applications and get a significantly increased return on data processing for businesses.
Discussing the LPWAN industry and future opportunities with representatives of Cisco, there was one thing all participants agreed on: LPWAN, 5G, Bluetooth, NB-IoT are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary and interrelated technologies.
