Application Domains: Next Generation Networks combined with the massification of microelectronics have contributed significantly to the generalization of IoT and, consequently, to the emergence of new services that are transversal to all of the society in the areas of Industry 4.0, quality of life, health, intelligent cities and houses, fostering the digital economy. IoT has a major impact in the area of Ambient Assisted Living and Smart Homes, contributing significantly to improve the health and quality of life of the elderly in their homes and reducing their social isolation. We aim to deepen the concept of intelligent region to rural areas featured by aged and low population density, declining primary sector and desertification, contributing to its socio-economic development by creating services that bring value to them. The connection of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to each other and to the Internet and the management of the information and the development and implementation of broadband wireless networks with smart management and monitoring mechanisms for interconnection of all existing and future communication devices are also application areas of this group.
