The rapid integration of digital technologies into everyday life has opened numerous opportunities for complex systems to be developed that combine sensors, 5G/6G infrastructure, advanced signal processing techniques, satellite communications, AI, and many other innovative approaches. These complex systems can cover many different fields ranging from telecommunication infrastructure, smart cities and buildings, all the way to precision agriculture, healthcare and wellbeing monitoring, and complex industrial environments. Regardless of the applications of the IoT approach, a substantial amount of data is obtained, and structuring, understanding, and using this data correctly makes the difference between overengineering and true innovative potential. Working with these systems requires both advanced signal processing techniques, careful data science applications, and often the development of various AI algorithms to further increase the optimization of certain processes and resource usage.
The true potential of IoT emerges at the intersection of multiple disciplines, where advancements in collaborative efforts from different fields create new levels of efficiency and innovation. The integration of satellite links and next-generation 5G/6G networks plays a crucial role in enabling seamless connectivity for IoT applications, from large-scale smart farming solutions to real-time environmental monitoring and resilient infrastructure systems.
