The Internet of Things is complex and changing rapidly. To address the many technologies that make up an IoT solution, developers in the IoT space need to develop an ecosystem of reliable partners. NimbeLink first entered the IoT market as a component company with the innovative Skywire™ family of cellular IoT modems. Developing partnerships covering the full range of IoT capabilities, NimbeLink has evolved into an IoT solutions company. The company’s most recent cellular solution is the QTELLUS Asset Tracker.

 

NimbeLink CEO, Scott Schwalbe, will chair this panel and discuss NimbeLink’s approach to partnership in the IoT market and the process by which the company transitioned from a component to a solutions company. The panel will include long-time partners from leading companies in IoT including Verizon, Sequans, Digi-Key and Taoglas. The panel will address the criteria that companies would look for in building their own partner ecosystem and will conclude with a Q&A from attendees.
