The Internet of Things: Opportunities & Challenges

What is the IoT ?

2

How is IoT different than M2M?

• M2M focused on connecting

machines – mainly proprietary

closed systems

• IoT is about harmonizing the way

humans and machines connect

using common public services People Things

Cloud Services Things, people and cloud services

getting connected via the Internet to

enable new use cases and business

models

What is driving the IoT ?

3

Users

• Streamline experiences

• Increase convenience

• Better lifestyle

• Reduce expenses

Businesses

• Sell more products

• Sell new services

• Reduce expenses

• With lower barriers

Why now ?

4

• More products are adding intelligence with MCUs to support more

sophisticated control

• Adding connectivity is getting easier & cheaper

• Low-power semiconductors allow for more battery-powered

applications

• Wi-Fi and internet access broadly available

• Tablets, PCs and Smartphones broadly available – can be

leveraged as a gateway

• Connectivity brings control, sensing & ability to update system

software over the internet

We are at the IoT inflection point

TI’s IoT strategy

5

• Large and diverse set of applications/customers

• Breadth of products – and standard product approach

• Programmable platforms allowing customer differentiation

• Ease of use to enable broad adoption and engagement scale

• Large salesforce and distribution channels

• Strong university and online presence

IoT is an enabling technology – not a market
