Takeaways






The industrial metaverse is focused on connecting manufacturing and health environments through specialized networks, enabling better decision-making through the analysis of rich data.


Security is a critical consideration in the industrial metaverse, and the concept of zero trust, which involves never trusting and always verifying, is essential in ensuring trustworthiness and safety.


Consumers should be aware of the security implications of connecting various devices to their networks and should prioritize security when choosing products and services.


The rollout of 5G is a significant development in the industrial metaverse, enabling greater connectivity and performance in industrial and campus environments.


The future of the industrial metaverse involves the development of innovative technologies, such as an all-photonics-based network, to address power consumption and environmental challenges.
