Internet of Things

Edition

IoT is magic

Hardware becomes easier!

All of us can solve big problems!

IoT Applications

• Action-oriented response

• Visual-oriented response

• Data-oriented response

IoT Development

Lots of devices

Lots of data

IoT Adoption

95% Expect their company to be using IoT in the next 3 years

63% Believe that companies slow to integrate IoT will fall behind the competition

58% Would like to see government do more to promote development and adoption of IoT

45% Believe adopting IoT will make their company more environmentally friendly

What are C-suits saying about IoT?

Companies’ attitude to IoT

• 75% of companies are either actively exploring or using

the IoT

• Only 6% of business leaders believe that it is merely hype

• In three years, 96% of surveyed individuals expect their

business to be using IoT in some respect

• 61% of the leaders recognize that they need to integrate

IoT into their businesses, or else the business will fall

behind

• Only 30% of organizations saw double digit growth in IoT

investments

Economist (2013)

Drivers of IoT

• Low cost and low power sensors and actuators

• Universal connectivity

• Software technologies

• Improved data connection on wireless networks

The Rise of a Startup

• Resources are not a problem

• Quick feedback cycle

• Growth – not a problem

Hurdles for IoT

• “War of ecosystems”

• Security and privacy concerns

• Regulation

• Motivation

• Pycno software stack

• M2M in remote locations with no internet

• How to design an application to work globally

Why?

THE FUTURE WE DESERVE

Server

• Node.JS + express

• Angularjs

• Mongodb

Devices

• IEEE 802.15 standard

• *NO ZIGBEE

Software stack

Architecture

• In an ideal world we have fast internet

• Cellular connections are homogeneous

Machine to Machine (M2M) • Integral part of the Internet of Things

A B

• We will focus on cellular

Machine to Machine (M2M)

– Low cost

– Work worldwide on any network

– Sensors

– Power

Cost

• M2M SIMs are way cheaper. Unneeded features are OFF.

• Opt for GPRS if possible

Application

Super awesome

server GPRS

Browser

Super awesome

GPRS sucks but..

All technologies

EDGE, 3G, LTE fallback to…GPRS

Cheaper hardware!

M2M worldwide – Part A

• M2M SIM

• Roaming enabled

• Steering disabled

– Operator limits on SIM profile

– Steers the SIM to cheaper networks

M2M worldwide – Part B

Application level

• Automatic mode

– Handles all the registration and network switching

• Manual mode

– We control network switching

– We evaluate when network uptime suffers

– Ignore SIM table
