Now: !–Manufacturing!– Food and beverage!– Health and wellness!– Environmental

IoT is about to explodeWhy IoT is more than marketing hype:!– Smaller, cheaper, smarter devices!– Cheaper network access!– Cheaper cloud computing resources!– IPv6!– Low/self powered sensors!– Technology acceptance

Evolution of IoT

IoT 1.0

Most current IoT applications are similar to Web 1.0 apps!–Mostly comprised of one way publishing of

data (machine to person)!– Stove pipe apps!– Dedicated terminal and / or desktop access

IoT 1.0 Examples

IoT 1.x!: Moving to real-timeMore compelling IoT applications are emerging!These newer applications make use of location, context and time as well as sensor data to drive more real-time decision making

IoT 1.x example

IoT 2.0?

Ability for machines to talk to one another!Ability for machines to react to events from one another!Anywhere access to the information!Real-time actions/analytics!Invisible

IoT 2.0 Example

What is needed to get there?In order to make this type of application possible we need:!– IoT mobile gateway – to manage mobile

device and other display/wearable integration!– IoT application server

IoT Application ServerAn IoT Application Server needs to have the following features:!– Highly Secure!– Highly Scalable!– Interoperability (with both devices and servers)!– Rapid prototyping!– Open standards!–Mobile Presentation
