11

How do we create

broad growth from AI ?

Platform companies benefiting from strong AI network effects

12

We need to

address our

skill base in

STEM and AI

– Research

and Education

ODIN IoT Innovation Networkprovide LPWA

infrastructure to relevant

universities/ cities and

engage universities,

developers and start-ups

to innovate LPWA based

services and conduct

relevant research

Phase 2, e.g.:

• Horten

• Stavanger

• Gjøvik

Phase 1:

• Tromsø

• Trondheim

• Oslo

Considerations:

• Use both LoRaWAN and NB-IoT• Deploy on Telenor masts & towers

• Telenor Connexion Cloud Connect as

backend system for both access

technologies

Telenor produced IoT modules

- Distribute 1000 modules- Firmware included (open source)- ARM Cortex M4- Lots of I/O pins- BLE (for wireless sensors)- NFC (for provisioning)- HW design is open source
