The Internet of Things (IoT) will be one of the themes in the technical sessions at the IEEE MTT-S 2014 International Microwave Symposium (IMS), reflecting the critical role that the microwave and Radio Frequency (RF) industry plays in developing technologies that enable sophisticated peer-to-peer, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) scenarios.
The International Microwave Symposium (IMS) is the annual conference and exhibition of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S). IMS2014 will be held between June 1 and 6, 2014 in Tampa, Flordia, USA, and will include 160 technical sessions, workshops and panel sessions, and have more than 575 exhibitors participating.
“Virtually every topic at the IMS has some impact on the future Internet of Things, including 4G/5G wireless technologies, biomedical sensors, automotive radar and navigation systems,” said IMS Technical Program Chair Sanjay Raman. “The pressing need for more bandwidth to support the increased data volumes generated by the Internet of Things requires innovative approaches to wideband and reconfigurable RF and wireless systems, positioning our industry for further growth.”
A special technical session – Internet of Things: Technology and Applications – on June 3 will examine how capabilities such as context awareness, increased processing power, and energy independence enable more people to connect with new types of information. Led by Dr. Debabani Choudhury and Dr. Olga Boric-Lubecke, the session will provide insight into the technologies that enable the IoT and the various applications.
Additionally, Intel Corporations’ Dr. Vida Ilderem will focus on the technology development the Internet of Things drives in her plenary session keynote, ‘How Data, Devices and Personalization are Fueling Demand for Innovation’ on June 2.
The IEEE 2014 Wireless and Microwave Technology Conference (WAMICON), co-located with IMS as part of Microwave Week, will also feature a session on nanotechnology and Inkjet-printed flexible electronics as a sustainable ultra-low-cost solution for Internet of Things devices on June 6.
Online registration for IMS2014 is on till May 30, followed by onsite registration after that date.
