The “network of things”—including remote sensors, smart utility meters, vehicles, and appliances—will increasingly rely on wireless communications. The expanding use of this technology creates opportunities to address environmental and social issues: from reducing carbon and use of natural resources, to providing access to financial and health care services for underprivileged populations. Challenges will emerge as well, including what to do with the technology at the end of its useful life.
Join BSR’s ICT Director Vijay Kanal and other expert speakers at the BSR Conference 2011 session “Sustainability, Smart Phones, and the Network of Things,” as we discuss the implications of the exponential growth of our wireless information and communications technology infrastructure.
