IoT Texas

 
 
 

Come join us Thursday, April 6th, for our next IoT Happy Hour at SpringHill Suites (details below) and hear

Shawn Taikratoke (www.linkedin.com/in/shawntaikratoke/ )
CEO and Co-founder

talk about MOZEE Inc. (www.mozeealong.com/), fully autonomous vehicles and the $15 million in funding Mozee recently received.

Mozee aims to pioneer the creation of a fully autonomous vehicle fleet and the necessary infrastructure to back it up. Here at Mozee we truly believe to go places in life, you have to be able to move freely. Which is why we're starting with the 45% of Americans who don't have easy access to mass transit. We're building a purposeful vehicle from ground up.

These are hybrid and free events. For those that can attend in person, it allows us to come together and meet other IoT professionals, technologists, business execs... and help us find resources, talent and solutions to our issues... and learn about new trends and tech in the industry.

Come early and stay late if you can. (Bar opens at 5 pm. - self paid.)

The folks that attend have expertise from all segments of the IoT industry... from end device/sensor/actuator builders, to connectivity gurus (wired and wireless), to backend computer systems/platforms and analytic tools specialists... and even edge computing/processing experts.

Come join us and build relationships and find opportunities for growth... or find solutions to your IoT needs if you're an end user.

*** The 3rd Friday IoT Breakfast ***

These are monthly meetings of Internet of Things (IoT) technologists, business execs, entrepreneurs and end users. These folks represent all aspects of the IoT ecosystem from end device/sensor makers and edge computing experts to connectivity gurus (both wireless and wired) as well as backend specialists with expertise in computers, cloud, analytic tools, artificial intelligence plus system designers/architects and system integrators, etc.

Our meetings officially start at 7:30 am CT and at 7:40 we go around the room and hear 30-second introductions from each attendee. The presentation begins at 8 and usually ends at 9 am (9:10 or so if Q&A is lively). However, some folks get there at 7 am when the doors open… and some stay until 10 am or later networking and collaborating with other IoT professionals.

Complementary coffee and bottled water are available. The kitchen was closed due to Covid. However, you're welcome to bring your own breakfast food.

Come join us and hear Bill James (https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-james-78bb953/)

talk about:

What are JPods?

JPods are rail networks from which ultralight vehicles carry people and cargo using 1/10th the energy of cars, passenger-trains, and buses.

More details at: https://jpods.com/ and https://jpodstx.com/home/

Jpods can solve this:

PROBLEM

• Burning energy moving 2-tons to move a person.

SOLUTION

• JPods Networks preempt these defects by moving ultra-light self-driving cars suspended from an overhead guideway.
• To be energy self-reliant, we use the structure of that guideway to deploy the solar collectors to gather the energy needed.
• The result is urban traffic costs are cut by 10X to provide on-demand mobility regardless of age, ability, or wealth.
