Today’s Most Dynamic Business Opportunity


IoT in Simple Terms

Ordinary objects—from thermostats and shoes to cars and lamp posts—will be embedded with sensors and connected to the Internet so as to send and receive data which can be analyzed and acted upon

A connected world is capable of anything from improving personal health to reducing pollution to enhancing security to making industry more productive


More Formal …

“A true Internet of Things will require IP in the tiniest devices that monitor or controlreal world objects, and that services and data from these devices are somehowavailable more openly for applications to make use of. The use of standard IP and Webtechnologies will ensure that device costs are driven down and that applicationdevelopment and use will be significantly simplified”

“The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects that containembedded technology to communicate and sense or interact with their internal statesor the external environment. The IoT comprises an ecosystem that includes things,communication, applications and data analysis”

“The Internet of Everything (IoE) is bringing together people, process, data, andthings to make networked connections more relevant and valuable than ever before-turning information into actions that create new capabilities, richer experiences, andunprecedented economic opportunity for businesses, individuals, and countries”

IoT as defined by ITU and IERC


IoT Fundamental Characteristics

Enormous number of devices. Device-triggered communication rather than human-triggered communication

Enormous Scale

IoT is capable of providing thing-related services such as privacy protection & semantic consistency between physical things and

associated virtual things

Things-Related Services

Devices are heterogeneous as based on different hardware and networks. However, must interact with other devices and services

Heterogeneity

Both number and state of devices change dynamically. Reasoning, actions and updates must be timely done

Dynamic Changes

Anything can be connected to a global information & communication infrastructure

Interconnectivity
