The Internet of Things
Brian Pinnock
The Internet of Things
• Smart objects• Trillions of them• Unconventional networks• Maybe TCP/IP based• New business models• And lots of impacts• Everywhere
Agenda
• Outline• Roadblocks• Enablers• Impacts• Opportunities• Conclusion
OUTLINEAn outline of the Internet of Things
Tracking
Monitoring the behavior of people and things through space and time
Information & Analysis
Situational Awareness
Real-time awareness of situational environments
Sensor Driven Analytics
Assisting human decision making through deep analysis and data visualisation
Process Optimisation
Automated control of closed environments
Automation & Control
Optimised Resource Consumption
Smart meters and energy optimisation
Complex Autonomous Systems
Automated control in environments with great uncertainty
ROADBLOCKSThe Organisational, Social and Technical Inhibitors
Organisational Roadblocks
• Security• Device cost• Data storage• Data processing
Social Legal Roadblocks
• Privacy• Jail-breaking• Legal frameworks• Cross border data• Coverage
Technology Roadblocks
• Power consumption• Standards• Storage• Number crunching
TECHNOLOGY ENABLERSCritical success factors
Enablers - Smart Objects
• Border control• 50 meter radius• Cost 8 rand• Reprogrammable
• Magnetic• Temperature• Vibration• CO
Enablers
• Moore’s Law• Low power chips (ARM)• Cloud• Social media platforms• Low Power Wireless• Lightweight OS (Contiki)• Standards
Enablers- Energy Harvesting
• Ambient radiation• Blood sugar• Tree metabolic processes• Piezo/Pyro electrics
IMPACTThe likely impacts on business, IT, society and Africa
Business Model Impact
• Usage tracking• Usage & movement tracking• Usage & behavior tracking• Behavior discounting
Network Impacts
• Resource constrained• Routing (ROLL)• IP for Smart Objects• 6LoWPAN
• Billing Systems• IPv6 • Unconventional networks• Security• Storage• Number crunching
Enterprise Impact
African Impact
• Insurance savings • Border control• Eskom & Toll Roads • Security – smart dust• TB & HIV• Road safety monitoring• Road safety enforcement
OPPORTUNITIESWhat are the technical and business opportunities?
• Smart Dew Sensors• ARM Embed programme• Contiki• 6LoWPAN & Zigbee• UbiCity Project (Oulu)
Opportunities Today
Conclusion
• Smart objects• Trillions of them• Unconventional networks• Maybe TCP/IP based• New business models• And lots of impacts• Lots of opportunity
