10/90 RULE The Last 100 meter

connectivity

The “last 100 meters” represent > 90% potential number of connections

Today, the devices used in the “last 100 meters” are typically not connected. The wide-area network is to a larger extent connected e.g. through smartphones, home routers (e.g. ADSL routers) and GSM / 3G / 4G Routers.

WHAT ARE THE BUSINESS CHALLENGES


WHY TELCOS HAVE DIFFICULTY TO EMBRACE IOT

4 REASONS


LEGACY BUSINESS IS STILL CONNECTIVITY

M2M HIGH VOLUME LOW ARPU

SIM-CARD BASED

OLD HABITS DIE HARD

LESS COMPLEX


LACK OF DOMAIN EXPERTISE

THINK BEYOND CONNECTIVITY

SOLUTIONS, SELLING AND MANAGED SERVICES

NEED GO-TO-MARKET PARTNER


MINDSET BLOCK

FULL OF SKEPTISM

LOW SINGLE DIGIT GROWTH CONTRIBUTION


STABLE BUSINESS VS. RISKY VENTURES

NEED TO WORK LIKE STARTUP

IOT BUSINESS IS FLUID

Data Fusion & Compound Applications


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.

Personal and Households

CHALLENGES – DATA OWNERSHIP


ENCOURAGE ADOPTION AND INNOVATION OF IOT

HOW-TO


“Makers, startups and crowdsourcing efforts result in high numbers of low-revenue niche IoT applications.”


WHERE ARE IOT DEVELOPERS?

SENSING-AS-A-SERVICE BENEFITS


The city would pay for access to the light sensors in order to decide when to turn on and off the street lights

Gathering temperature, light, pressure, humidity and

pollution.

COMMERCIAL IOT SENSOR PROVIDER

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


Harnessing the

of the Application Developers


Participatory Sensing - “Rapid deployment”


Reduction of Data Acquisition Cost – “Sustainable Business Model”


Different Business Models


IOT Cloud Services – “Pay-per-Use” or “Subscription-based”


Collect Data Previously Unavailable – “Assist scientific community or survey activities”


CROWDSENSING GETTING INSIGHTS FROM


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 – POLLUTION DATA USING SMARTPHONES

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 •  Improved decision-making •  Get immediate feedback

and opinions from citizens •  Give immediate feedback to

citizens

Researchers •  Get access to and analyze

(anonymized) collective noise data

Developers •  Extend mobile app in

whichever way you see fit

station, astronomical, tide and GIS.


CHALLENGE #2

RIVER MONITORING


MONITORING RIVER POLLUTION 1.  What kind of pollutants in the river? 2.  What is the pollution level? 3.  When is the highest pollution detected? 4.  Where is the location of pollutants? 5.  Who is contributing to the rise in pollution? 6.  How to control the pollution level? 7.  How much is the pollution level? 8.  Why is the pollution rising at certain time? 9.  Why is the pollution rising at certain locations?


RIVER MONITORING - SENSORS 1.  Chemical sensors 2.  Water level sensors 3.  Crowd sourced violation information (mobile device) 4.  GPS input 5.  Hydro morphology e.g. depth, width, flow 6.  Water temperature sensor 7.  In-situ (manual sampling) 8.  Weather sensors


RIVER MONITORING – VALUE PROPOSITION 1.  Early warning system for water contamination 2.  Locating the area of violation 3.  Detecting and alerting violations 4.  Getting public involvement through crowd sourcing 5.  Evidence platform for violations 6.  Identify potential causes of pollution rise by correlating data with

water level pattern 7.  Identify a profile of water in different months of the year. Any

change in profile will trigger external sources of pollution 8.  Identify the spread of disease 9.  Ecotourism planning
