The Internet of Things
Sensors & Devices & “Things”
Connectivity & Transport & Protocols
Systems & Processes &
People
Bidirectional Information Flow … Messaging and Control
What is Happening in IoT
• Explosion of new IoT applications
– Connected using Cloud solutions
– Demand for efficient access to data
• Information has value …
– Data mashups have greater value
• Thinking: gather as much data as possible
Bringing New Challenges• Scaling for explosive growth• Security for content & transmissions• Storage & efficient analysis of data• Multiple transport technologies• Connectivity management
Predictions are Staggering• 2010, IBM (describing their Rational software design)
– “A World with 1 Trillion Connected Devices” … by 2015
• 2011, Ericsson CEO Hans Vestberg– “50 Billion Connected Devices” … by 2020
• 2013, ABI Research report– “30 Billion” … by 2020
• 2013, Morgan Stanley report– “75 Billion Devices Connected to the IoT” … by 2020
• 2014, Intel infographic– “31 billion devices connected to the Internet” … by 2020
• 2014, ABI Research updated report– “41 billion active wireless connected devices” … by 2020 Source: Intel
“Big Data” Says
• “We don’t know what we want to look at, so … transmitting, storing & searching haystacks is fine”
• But!
– Finding timely, actionable data could be expensive
– Cost of metered transport, storage, analytics, etc.
Distributed processing of information is vital
Impact of One Prediction
• Cellular M2M Devices send on average: 2 MBytes / month
• USA: 15M cellular devices (8% of all M2M): 30 TBytes / Month
Total cellular M2M data use is increasing
• Number of cellular M2M devices (at 5%): 2.5 Billion
• Data (assuming 4MB / month): 10,000,000 TBytes / month
With 50 Billion Devices by 2020
• Transmissions and total data haystacks are enormous
• Demands “processing at the edge” … at device Fog Computing
Even with conservative estimates
One Idea … Gateways
• Hierarchically connecting Sensors & Devices
– Aggregating hybrid sources of data
– WAN transport over Cellular, Wireline, & Other
• Gateways must be programmable … filters change
– Agent software in gateways (and devices?)
– Good spot in chain for security best practices
Final Thoughts• Cooperation
– … Intl M2M Council … Industrial Internet Consortium …
• Standards– … ETSI … TIA … OneM2M …
• API’s to connect Things– … AllSeen Alliance … Open Internet Consortium …
• Education– … M2M Evolution … IoT World Forum …
