Abstract - The Internet of Things (IoT) promises much but has yet to deliver to scale. As devices are rolled out their viability has to be confirmed, not only as discrete elements, but as part of a whole ecosystem. Issues of power management, congested or sketchy communications, scalability of cloud visualization etc. must be validated before commercial deployment is possible. Testing at each level is possible with standard industry tools and will be discussed in this talk, together with live demonstrations.

Mr. Rob Rowlands received a Bachelor of Engineering degree in electrical engineering from the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1971. He was a Transmission Engineer in the NZ Post Office for 22 years, followed by 21 years with HP and Agilent in the SF Bay Area in Business Development and sales of communications test equipment. He is semiretired but still selling test equipment for Gap Wireless. Rob is a life member of IEEE.
