IntroductionIoT is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics,software,sensors and connectivity to enable it to achive greater value and service by exchanging data with the manufacturer,operator and/or other connected devices.

Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing internet infrasructure.

Today the Internet of Things is at an inflection point. Although technology experts for decades have anticipated a world of billions of smart, connected devices, multiple factors have converged recently to accelerate adoption of IoT scenarios in businesses .

Consider the following factors: Hardware costs are falling More machines are talking to each other Software is more advanced than ever. Cloud solutions offer lower costs, scale, and

flexibility. Connectivity is proliferating

Latest TrendsExample: A context-aware IoT Service• Cab, defined as– “Raju, walking on streets, makes a call to a“Nearby Cab” – A phone call from Raju is automatically routed to a nearby taxi driver. • Things: Raju and cabs, connected to network through their phones• Data: GPS locations on their phones• Middleware: an IoT service redirect a call from Raju to a “nearby cab”• Overlay server: a web service runs at umeshcabs.com

Near Future :

We see some key early verticals of adoption (Wearables, Cars, Homes, Cities, and Industrials) as test cases for what the IoT can achieve. Focus on: new products and sources of revenue and new ways to achieve cost efficiencies that can drive sustainable competitive advantages.

Key to watch: privacy and security concerns - a likely source of friction on the path to adoption.

Interest AreasTrack ur activity levels:

Using your smartphones range of sensors (accelerometer, gyro,video,proximity,compass,gps,etc) and connectivity options (cell,wifi,bluetooth,nfc,etc) you have a well quipped internet of things devies in your pocket that can automatically monitor your movements, location,and workouts throught the day
