There is No More Important Decision to Make

Than Which Network Platform Will Enable the IoT

… But on what basis do we make it?

IoT Myth #1

“IP Networking is Overkill”

Claim

“IoT devices only need one way

networking”

“IoT devices are too cheap /

constrained”

“IoT devices are function specific”

Reality

Standards ignite markets

Interoperability lowers costs

Leverage billions in 3rd party R&D

investment

IP (always) wins

IoT Myth #2

“What Matters is Which Transport You Use”

Claim

“Power Line Carrier is the answer”

“No, cellular is the answer”

“No, my proprietary wireless mesh is the answer”

Reality

Not “hammer / nail”

Huge, unpredictable variety of devices & locations

Need most general architecture possible

Multi-transport

architecture wins

IoT Myth #3

“What Matters is How Much Bandwidth”

Claim

“You only need 5 Kbits/sec.”

“You need 10 Mbits/sec.”

“…”

Reality

Reliability, latency often more important than speed

Longevity requires extensibility

“Horses for Courses”

Distributed intelligence

architecture wins

IoT Myth #4

“Proprietary Security is Fine for IoT”

Claim

“IoT devices are too cheap / constrained”

“Sensor networks mean encryption =

security”

“Who will bother hacking …”

Reality

Privacy, authentication, authorization

Command & control comes in many

forms …

“Security through obscurity” always fails

Standards-based security throughout

the stack wins

IoT Myth #5

“I Will Provide You A Platform …”

Claim

“… even though my business is devices”

“… even though my business is applications”

“… even though my business is enterprise systems”

“… even though my business is doing integration projects”

Reality

3rd party devices poorly supported

3rd party apps poorly supported

Huge, slow, expensive integration projects

Ongoing, expensive integration engagements

Horizontal platform architecture wins

Networking characteristics:

• Throughput (bps to Mbps)

• Payload size (bytes to

Mbytes)

• Latency (minutes, hours,

days to msec)

AND ALSO …

Economic terms:

• Cost (CAPEX and OPEX to pure as-a-Service)

• Coverage of end-sensors (from, say, 95% to 99.9%)

• Reliability (retries over hours, days to QoS)
