 nAbstract: Connectivity\, in particular wireless connectivity\, is a key en
 abling technology for the Internet of Things. A plethora of technologies ex
 ist ranging from short range to long range and low to medium power options.
  Recently\, long range\, low power wireless communication technologies have
  been introduced\, for both licensed and unlicensed radio spectrum. Unlicen
 sed spectrum technologies such as LoRa/LoRaWAN have become very popular bec
 ause of their low cost\, open standard and open source software support. Ho
 wever\, the current standard has many weaknesses in supporting a vision of 
 dense\, wireless IoT device deployment. In this talk we will briefly review
  long range\, low power wireless technologies\, review some of the weakness
 es of LoRa/LoRaWAN and present a range of advances that address these weakn
 esses\, in particular we will focus on medium access fairness\, power effic
 iency and delay performance for both terrestrial and satellite based IoT ap
 plications. \n\nBio: Dr. Dirk Pesch is a Professor of Computer Science in t
 he School of Computer Science and IT at the University College Cork\, Irela
 nd where he leads research initiatives in the area of future networks\, Int
 ernet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) with applications to
  smart and connected communities\, energy efficient buildings and sustainab
 le cities\, and smart manufacturing. In these areas\, his own research inte
 rests focus on the study\, design and performance evaluation of IoT and CPS
  and associated communication protocols\, system architectures\, and their 
 interoperability. Dr. Pesch is the Director of a national doctoral school\,
  the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) funded Centre for Research Training i
 n Advanced Networks for Sustainable Societies. He is also a Principal Inves
 tigator of the SFI funded CONNECT Centre for Future Networks and the CONFIR
 M Centre for Smart Manufacturing\, is an editorial board member of Springer
  Wireless Networks and MDPI Sensors. He also contributes to international c
 onference organization in his area of expertise including the IEEE World Fo
 rum on the Internet of Things\, IEEE VTC\, IEEE Globecom\, IEEE ICC\, IEEE 
 WCNC\, IEEE WoWMoM\, IFIP Networking and other conference and workshops. Pr
 ior to joining academia\, Dr. Pesch was a design engineer with Nokia in Ger
 many and the UK\, developing and implementing communication protocols for a
  range of cordless telecommunication products. He received a Dipl.Ing. degr
 ee from RWTH Aachen University\, Germany\, and a PhD from the University of
  Strathclyde\, Glasgow\, Scotland\, both in Electrical and Electronic Engin
 eering.
