oneM2M Industry Day to Highlight Rapid IoT Adoption in South Korea
The benefits of interoperability and interworking in advancing the Internet of Things (IoT) will be highlighted by oneM2M, the global IoT standards initiative, during IoT Week Korea in September.
oneM2M will mark its fifth Industry Day in South Korea as the number of South Korean IoT service subscribers reaches close to 6 million, according to data from the Ministry of Science and ICT.
The country’s three largest operators SK Telecom, KT and LG U+ have already deployed oneM2M-based IoT platforms, highlighting, says oneM2M, the importance of standardisation in nurturing large scale IoT deployments.
“While the IoT is gaining momentum worldwide, South Korea is at the forefront when it comes to real-world implementations based on standards, which encourage mass adoption, giving it a leading position in the race to unlocking the IoT’s full potential,” said Jae Moon Park, president of Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA).
“That is why IoT Week Korea is a great platform to showcase how standards such as oneM2M’s can truly create an interoperable, secure IoT ecosystem, not only in South Korea, but across the globe.”
The Industry Day – which will take place at the COEX Convention Center, in Seoul, on Friday, September 14 – will include a presentation from LG CNS on how it is using oneM2M’s specification in its IoT Platform INFioT, which is being used in its latest smart city management platform Cityhub. The platform is designed to play the role of a brain for a smart city by collecting and analysing data generated and sent by various city infrastructures via IoT technology.
