The Experience at the Edge: Rich Contextual Services and The American Dream by Eric Simone
December 17, 2019
Earlier this week, I was honored to join and an incredible group of IoT and Industrial IoT leaders at the IoT Slam X online conference, produced by The Internet of Things Community (IoT Community), the world’s largest and longest-standing CxO community of over 23,000 senior business leaders and IoT practitioners.
The tenth in the series of exclusive IoT Slam events, this month’s digital gathering covered a gamut of connected ecosystem themes, from the IIoT to cloud, edge computing, big data, analytics, Artificial Intelligence, blockchain, 5G, security, smart cities, buildings, healthcare and more.
As one of the most active members of the community, I was asked to present on what was one of the coolest deployments (if you’ll forgive me for bragging) – the innovation we’ve been contributing to as part of the build-out of an uber-connected environment across the 3 million square foot American Dream Mall, which opened in late October in the NYC metro area.
You must see it to believe it – and it has been incredible to be there while the finishing touches were put on this massive destination for entertainment, dining, shopping and community events.
Here are a few features, to pique your interest:
- US’s largest observation wheel at 300-feet high
