More Connected Devices Than People
Building a Smarter World
Increased Value Disrupting Value Chains Co-opetition Expanded Boundaries
How value is created and captured?
How the amount of new (and sensitive) data is utilized and managed?
How relationships with traditional business partners such as channels are redefined?
What roles companies should play as industry boundaries are expanded?
IOT Poses A New Set of Strategic Choices
What condition is my goods.
Who is a better and safer bus driver?
How reduce my electricity
bill?
When is my next train?
The Need to Connect Assets/Objects/Things Knowing our Assets – Typical Questions
What IF we can connect ALL these assets and get the answers to ALL these questions?
Where can I park?
Why my items are not
selling?
What Are Smart, Connected Products (Things)?
Physical Components - comprise the product’s mechanical and electrical parts.
Smart Components - amplify the capabilities and value of the physical components
Connectivity Components - amplifies the capabilities and value of the smart components and enables some of them to exist outside the physical product itself.
What Can Smart, Connected Things Do?
Monitoring Control Op-mize Autonomy
• The product’s condition • The external environment • The product’s operations and usage Monitoring
• Control of product functions • Personalization of the user experience Control
• Enhance product performance • Allow predictive diagnostics, service and repair Optimization • Autonomous product operation • Self-coordination operation with other products • Autonomous product enhancement and personalization • Self-diagnosis and service

WHAT IF – we can create Compound Applications across industries?
Compound Applications
The New Meaning for “SaaS”SENSING-AS-A-SERVICE
Sensor Classification Scheme Based on Ownership
All personal items, such as mobile phones, wrist watches, spectacles, laptops, soft drinks, food items and household items, such as televisions, cameras, microwaves, washing machines, etc
Private business organization has the right to take the decision whether to publish the sensors attached to those items to the cloud or not.
Public infrastructure such as bridges, roads, parks, etc. All the sensors deployed by the government will be published in the cloud depending on government policies.
Business entities who deploy and manage sensors by themselves by keeping ownership. They earn by publishing the sensors and sensor data they own through sensor publishers.

One scenario could be as such: • The city would pay for access to the light
sensors in order to decide when to turn on and off the street lights
• A university may want access to the pollution information for research purposes for a limited period
• The weather department would want the temperature and pressure data
• The street town council center would want the temperature and humidity data for planning during rough weather

Gathering temperature, light, pressure, humidity and pollution.

Benefits ofSENSING-AS-A-SERVICE
Harnessing the
of the Application Developers
Participatory Sensing - “Rapid deployment”
Built-in Cloud Services – “Pay-per-Use” or “Subscription-based”
REUSE
Reduction of Data Acquisition Cost – “Sustainable Business Model”
Collect Data Previously Unavailable – “Assist scientific community or survey activities”
Getting Insights via Crowdsensing
Smartphone as Your “Sensing Assistant” Sensors: • Camera – “Eyes” • Audio – “Ears” • Accelerometer –
“Speed” • GPS – “Location” • Gyroscope –
“Movement” • Compass – “Direction” • Proximity – “Closeness” • Ambient light – “Eyes” • Others…
Crowdsourcing Via Crowdsensing Context 1. Spatial – Location / Speed Orientation 2. Temporal – Time / Duration 3. Environmental – Temperature / Light / Noise Level 4. User Characterization – Activity (Mobility Pattern) / Social (Friends, Interactions) 5. Resource Availability – Storage / Memory / Computational / Battery
NoiseTube – Crowdsourcing of Pollution Data Using Smartphones. What Motivates?
• Citizens and Communities concerned with noise • Measure your daily sound exposure in dB(A) with
your mobile phone • Tag noisy sources to inform the community about
them • Visualize your measurements on a map and
contribute to the creation of collective, city-wide noise maps
• Compare your experience with that of others • Local governments / city planners
• Improve decision-making by understanding local and global noise pollution in your city using maps and statistics
• Get immediate feedback and opinions from citizens • Give immediate feedback to citizens
• Researchers • Get access to and analyze (anonymized) collective
noise data • Find out what is important in soundscape perception
• Developers • Extend our mobile app in whichever way you see fit • Use our environmental sensor web API to do your
own web mashups
1. Combining it with magnetic data from other sources, we hope to create near-real-time models of Earth's time changing magnetic field to aid navigation.
2. Mapping static magnetic noise sources (for e.g. power transformer and iron pipes) could potentially improve accuracy of the magnetic navigation systems.

FROM SMART PARKING TO SMART CITY
Reduce the motorist frustration.
Real time and reliable.
Authorized use of parking.
Efficient surveillance routes .
Optimize parking utilization.
Locate cars that have overstayed
30% of all traffic in the average city center is searching for an available parking spot.
NOTE: According to Navigant Research,
Cities are losing up to 40% of possible parking revenue through inefficiencies. With smart parking, these inefficiencies are significantly reduced to provide an estimated a 20 – 30% increase in parking revenue.*

SMARTCITY
Crea-ng an IOT Eco-‐System for Malaysia (Smart City)
Why Smart City? 1. Due to scale and heterogeneity of
the environment 2. Ideal ground for enabling a broad
range of very different experiments 3. A huge number of challenging
requirements 4. A variety of problem and application
domains 5. Allows evaluation of social
acceptance of IoT technologies and services via real world pilots
6. An excellent catalyst for IoT research!

REDtone In Search of The Right Partners
1. No longer an infrastructure game alone – Software and Apps
2. IoT Adoption - Technology might not be the stumbling block – Finding the Right Business Models
3. Internet of Things (IoT) is NOT a single player game – Ecosystem is important!
