An IoT Now episode brings AstraQua and GSMA perspectives into a conversation about connectivity and physical AI.

AstraQua founder and CEO Loay Elbasyouni features alongside GSMA’s Barbara Pareglio in a Smart Mobility podcast episode published by IoT Now on September 10, 2026. Jim Morrish of Transforma Insights hosts the conversation.
The episode, “From Mars to machines: How connectivity powers physical AI in Smart Mobility,” considers the relationship between connected infrastructure and machines acting in the physical world. The publisher introduces applications across vehicles, drones, aircraft and robots, bringing an autonomy developer’s perspective together with a mobile-industry perspective.
IoT Now’s introduction sets out the conversation’s scope: computing near the device, connectivity options and the practical constraints of power and data. The page also places the discussion in the context of Elbasyouni’s earlier engineering career and his current work at AstraQua.
