1.1. WHAT IS THE IOT ?
1.1. WHAT IS THE IOT ? Cloud Services

Things, people and

cloud services
getting connected via
the Internet to enable
new use cases and IoT
business models

Things People
1.1. WHAT IS THE IOT ? Cloud Services

How is IoT different than

M2M?
•M2M focused on connecting
machines – mainly proprietary
closed systems
IoT
•IoT is about harmonizing the
way humans and machines
connect using common public
services
Things App
1.1. WHAT IS THE IOT ?
Other definitions:
(1) The Internet of Things, also called The Internet of Objects, refers to a
wireless network between objects, usually the network will be wireless and
self-configuring, such as household appliances. --- Wikipedia

(2) By embedding short-range mobile transceivers into a wide array of

additional gadgets and everyday items, enabling new forms of communication
between people and things, and between things themselves. --- WSIS 2005

(3) Things having identities and virtual personalities operating in smart spaces
using intelligent interfaces to connect and communicate within social,
environmental, and user contexts. --- IoT in 2020
 1.1. WHAT IS THE IOT ?
Other definitions: Any TIME
connection
• On the move
• Outdoors and indoors
• On the move
• Night
• Outdoors
• Daytime
(4) From any time, any place • Indoors (away from the PC)
connectivity for anyone, we • At the PC
Any PLACE
will now have connectivity for connection
• Between PCs
anything! --- ITU Internet
• Human to Human
Reports 2005 • Human to Thing
• Thing to Thing

Any THING
connection
1.2. WHY IS THE IOT ?

Before IoT After IoT

For all devices to interact, collaborate, share experiences reducing

human intervention in a machine cycle
 1.2. WHY IS THE IOT ?
Users Businesses
•Streamline experiences •Sell more products
•Increase convenience •Sell new services
•Better lifestyle •Reduce expenses
•Reduce expenses •With lower barriers
WHY NOW?

 More products are adding intelligence with MCUs to support more

sophisticated control
 Adding connectivity is getting easier & cheaper
 Low-power semiconductors allow for more battery-powered applications
 Wi-Fi and internet access broadly available
 Tablets, PCs and Smartphones broadly available – can be leveraged as a
gateway
 Connectivity brings control, sensing & ability to update system software over
the internet
 1.2. IOT APLICATIONS
Wearables Building & Home Automation Smart Cities
