Connected Sensors, Connected Planet: IoT and Wireless for Environmental Resilience

Session details:

From remote regions to disaster response, the demand for real-time, reliable environmental data has never been greater. Yet many critical ecosystems and rural communities remain beyond the reach of today’s networks. 

Mersad Cacviv, Globalstar Chief Product Officer, will explore how IoT and wireless innovations are transforming environmental monitoring and sustainability. Advances in device-to-device (D2D), multimode, and satellite connectivity are breaking geographic barriers—linking sensors across oceans, forests, and cities with real-time precision. 

By integrating cellular, satellite, and low-power IoT protocols, these networks deliver interoperable, scalable solutions that reduce cost and complexity while expanding coverage into previously unreachable areas. Jacobs will discuss how this convergence enables continuous climate and air quality monitoring, strengthens disaster response, and fuels new markets for sensor-driven insights. He’ll share strategies for spectrum use and industry collaboration that are essential to building a resilient, globally connected IoT ecosystem—turning data into action at scale.
