26 | Guest Host Special | IoT Convergence and How it is changing the Industry

Welcome to Episode 26 - The Guest Host Special! Join Paul Bullock,  Director- BD, EDJX and Agustin Pelaez- CEO, Ubidots in exploring the fascinating realms of Build Vs. Buy,  Edge Computing, Cloud Computing and Celluar-Edge Computing convergence ☁️  💻 💥

The episode begins delving into the Build Vs. Buy debate, deliberating the advantages and disadvantages of using either process and discussing the question: When is the right time to use Build over Buy or Buy over Build.  We then progress towards a compelling exploration of how Edge computing could have enabled more use cases for the Ubidots Application layer and vice versa.  Finalising the episode, we cover a recent and exciting innovation- the convergence of Cellular, IoT and Edge Computing - and how this groundbreaking combination will solve the delay between investment and payback for decision-makers and operators.
