The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the way we interact with technology, transforming our everyday lives and reshaping industries worldwide. As this ecosystem continues to expand, it is essential to address the challenges related to spectrum management for IoT devices. Its main objective is to overcome the challenges that IoT faces in the region, particularly regarding spectrum management. In an effort to foster innovation and collaboration, the PRIDA Project Training on Spectrum Aspects of IoT in Vertical Industries will be held in the city of Sao Tome (Sao Tome e Principe) from October 16 to 20, 2023.
Spectrum, the range of radio frequencies used for wireless communication, is a finite and valuable resource. In the context of IoT, where billions of interconnected devices communicate wirelessly, the efficient use of spectrum becomes critical. Proper spectrum management ensures that IoT devices can coexist without causing interference and enables the seamless functioning of various applications in vertical industries such as healthcare, agriculture, transportation, smart cities, and more.
By equipping participants with the necessary knowledge and tools, the event aims to accelerate the growth of IoT across diverse verticals, fostering innovation and creating a more connected future for Africa and the world.
