What is IoT ?

“The data are no longer in the computers. We have come to see that the computers are in the data" Trillions: Thriving In The Emerging Information Ecology

Things

● Addressable● Connected to the Internet● Sensor / Actuator → Event driven● Intelligent (smart)● Localizable (GNSS)

Forecast

CISCO: “Internet of Things Forecasts Vary by an Order of Magnitude” online available at http://ipcarrier.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/internet-of-things-forecasts-vary-by.html, October 2013

Low Power is the key

● New restrictions– Memory

– CPU process

– % duty cycling

● Every single bit is valuable

Virtualization

QoS

SLA

Shared RAT

IoT Alliances

● AllJoin (https://allseenalliance.org/)– Free & Open source code

– Common API over various transport layers

https://allseenalliance.org/

IoT Alliances

● Open Interconnect (http://openinterconnect.org)– Still close & unclear

– Working on interoperability

Conclusions

● Vertical Technology convergence → Single solution (standard) for vertical market (maybe?)

● Basestation / concentrators → Utilities– Network Operators: Vodafone, Orange, etc.

– Service Operators: Sigfox, Avertis, etc.

– New challenges on Basestation / GW Side● Virtualization of apps● Shared Radio Interfaces● QoS● SLA

That's all
