Internet of Things is not a revolutionary idea
Evolution of decades of embedded processing solutions
Improving performance
adding intelligence to ‘Things’ around us
Historical basis – latest in technology
Hand Crafted – Assembly Line
Horse-drawn Carriage - Automobile
Written – Printed
Telegraph – Phone
Mobile Phone – Wireless ‘Things’
Embedded processors and sensors
Smaller
More economical
Energy-efficient embedded processors and sensors have unleashed a new wave of innovation.
New wave of innovation
Smart devices offer new features
Increased efficiency
Enhance quality of life
Collect data – how used and when needed
Car electronics – Driving efficiency and safety
Connectivity – for decades OnStar was state of the art safety
Now – Bluetooth, mulit-uses, cellular for voice or Internet
With dramatic expansion of networking infrastructure
Devices are connecting to the Internet at a dramatic pace
Users to benefit from the insight of the devices around them,
Service providers deliver features
Customized to individual preferences
Automotive examples:
Fleet applications: shared data used for efficiency and customer service improvements
Fuel
Routes
Cable technician – scheduled to an hour
By 2020
Connected devices will exceed the global population by a factor of six
Excluding PCs and smartphones
IDC forecasts that connected ‘Things’ will exceed 28 billion
For the ICT community
Massive opportunities and challengespresented by Big Data
Today, more data is generated by things with sensorsthan by people
Tremendous value created with Big Data on people
Google
Facebook
How will value be realized from Big Data generated by Things
Industrial
Public service
Privacy
Security
Industrial customers
Early adopters of machine-to-machine connectivity
Internet of Things
Enable shift from proprietary to shared infrastructures
Dramatic cost reductions
Increasing challenges for security
Smart Water & Power Meters
Now see cases where consumers pay more if not automated
Seeing initial building blocks of the Connected Home
Smart thermostats controlling integrated HVAC systems
Security cameras and Smart locks
Smart appliances and Smart lighting
All accessible by applications on your smart phone
Grew up in small town Ohio
Connected meant one land-line
Shared with neighbors
Now, my thermostat, lights, phone, pool are all connected to the Internet
By 2018
One-in-five cars will be self-aware
Share information on mechanical health, surroundings
Number of cars connected to the Internet
Will increase 6X to more than 150 million by 2020
Outside the vehicle
Increased cellular bandwidth
V2V
V2I
Advances will connect the car for both Comfort and Safety
Give us options for both Automated and Autonomous driving
Evolution of the connected vehicle leading the way to Autonomous Driving
“Connected” is changing the inside and outside of the car
Formerly separate
Steering
Powertrain (engine and transmission)
Chassis
Radar
Vision
Driver interfaces
Now connecting to understand status and context
Help drivers
Or directly control the car
Wearable technology
Fitness bands
Smart watches
Smart glasses
Action camers
Expected to grow into a $20 billion market by 20178
Opening the door for businesses
Capitalize on fitness and personal health services
Exponential growth in connected devices
Massive wave of Big Data
Promises to redefine networking infrastructure as we know it
Software Defined Networking
Holds the promise of network infrastructure
Much easier to provision
Easier to set up
Easier to use
Provide much more cost-effective solution in long run
SDN represents next-generation technology
Additional processing and capabilities required by IoT
Isn’t going to happen overnight
Will be adopted in phases
Implemented in a hybrid-model as new equipment moves into the network
Over the next few years, the Internet of Things promises to reshape the products we use every day
They will be Smarter
Intuitive
Dramatically impact the way we live our lives
Manufacturers and retailers will need to develop new business models for the connected consumer
The ICT industry will need to match this pace of innovation
Whether it is enabling the enterprise or capitalizing on new market opportunities
We are on the edge of a new era of connectivity, and I can’t wait to see what comes next.
Thank you
