History of
Internet of Things

KEVIN ASHTON – “FATHER OF THE IOT”
“So you get stuff like the smart wine
bottle, the smart bikini, and the smart
water bottle. This stuff is not the
Internet of Things – this stuff is all
rubbish.”
He believed IoT could “turn the world
into data” that could be used to
make macro decisions on resource
utilization.
“Information is a great way to reduce
waste and increase efficiency, and
that’s really what the Internet of
Things provides”[Source: The Reimagination Thought Leaders Summit ,Sydney, 17 November 2015]

HOW BIG IS THE IOT MARKET?
By 2016 Gartner predicts 6.4 billion devices will be connected to the internet -- and
5.5 million new 'things' will join them each day.

ENVIRONMENTS
Manufacturing
35% of manufacturers already use smart
sensors. 10% plan to implement them within a
year, and 8% plan to implement them within
3 years, according to PwC
Transportation
Connected cars are a top IoT device. We
estimate there will be over 220M connected
cars on the road by 2020.
Defense
We estimate spendingon drones will reach
$8.7B in 2020. In addition, 126K military robots
will be shipped in 2020, according to Frost &
Sullivan.
Agriculture
We estimate 75M IoT devices will be shipped
for agricultural uses in 2020, at a 20% CAGR.
These devices are primary sensors placed in
soil to track acidity levels, temperature, and
variables that help farmers increase crop
yields.
Oil, gas, and mining
35% of manufacturers already use smart
sensors. 10% plan to implement hem within a
year, and 8% plan to implement them within
3 years, according to PwC

ENVIRONMENTS
Infrastructure
We estimate municipalities worldwide will
increase their spendingon IoT systems at a 30%
CAGR, from $36B in 2014 to $133B in 2019. This
investment will generate $421B in economic
value for cities worldwide in 2019.
Retail
Beacons, paired with mobile apps, are being
used in stores to monitor customer behavior
and push advertisements to customers. In the
US, we estimate $44.4B will be generated from
beacon triggered messages.
Logistics
Trackingsensors placed on parcels and
shipping containers will help reduce costs
associated to lost or damaged goods. In
addition, robots such as Amazon Kiva robot,
help reduce labor costs in warehouses.
Banks
There are nearly 3M ATMs installed globally in
2015, according the World Bank. Some teller-
assist ATMs provide live-stream video of a teller
for added customer support.
Utilities
Energy companies throughout the world are
trying to meet the rising demand in energy. To
do this, they will be installing nearly 1 B smart
meters by 2020.
Hospitality
31% of hotels use next-generation door locks,
33% have room control devices, 16% have
connected TVs, and 15% use beacons
throughout the hotel, according to Hospitality
Technology’s 2015 Lodging Technology survey.
Healthcare
We estimate 646M IoT devices will be used for
healthcare by 2020. Connected healthcare
devices can collect data, automate
processes, and more. But these devices can
also be hacked, thereby posing a threat to the
patients who rely on them.
Smart Buildings
43% of buildingmanagers in the US believe the
IoT will affect how they run their building within
the next 2 to 3 years, according to a survey
from Daintree Networks.

NOISETUBE – CROWDSOURCING OF POLLUTION DATA
USING SMARTPHONES. WHAT MOTIVATES?
• Citizens and Communities concerned with noise
• Measure your daily sound exposure in dB(A) with
your mobile phone
• Tag noisy sources to inform the community about
them
• Visualize and contribute your measurements on a
• Compare your experience
• Local governments / city planners
• Improve decision-making by understanding local
and global noise pollution in your city using maps
and statistics
• Get immediate feedback and opinions to and
from citizens
• Researchers
• Get access to and analyze (anonymized)
collective noise data
• Find out what is important in soundscape
perception
• Developers
• Use the environmental sensor web API to do your
own web mash-ups

1. Combining it with magnetic data from other sources, we hope to create near-
real-time models of Earth's time changing magnetic field to aid navigation.
2. Mapping static magnetic noise sources (for e.g. power transformer and iron
pipes) could potentially improve accuracy of the magnetic navigation systems.
