The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT) and its significance as it enables connected devices to interact within various sectors, such as smart cities, healthcare, and agriculture. It details different Machine-to-Machine (M2M) technologies, both wired and wireless, and emphasizes the necessity for interoperability and efficient power usage in IoT devices. The conclusion highlights challenges in implementing standard solutions across vertical markets and the role of network operators in overcoming these obstacles.

8. What is IoT ?
“The data are no longer in the
computers. We have come to see that
the computers are in the data"
Trillions: Thriving In The Emerging Information Ecology

9. Things
● Addressable
● Connected to the Internet
● Sensor / Actuator → Event driven
● Intelligent (smart)
● Localizable (GNSS)

20. Low Power is the key
● New restrictions
– Memory
– CPU process
– % duty cycling
● Every single bit is
valuable

27. IoT Alliances
● AllJoin (https://allseenalliance.org/)
– Free & Open source code
– Common API over various transport layers

28. IoT Alliances
● Open Interconnect (http://openinterconnect.org)
– Still close & unclear
– Working on interoperability

29. Conclusions
● Vertical Technology convergence → Single
solution (standard) for vertical market (maybe?)
● Basestation / concentrators → Utilities
– Network Operators: Vodafone, Orange, etc.
– Service Operators: Sigfox, Avertis, etc.
– New challenges on Basestation / GW Side
● Virtualization of apps
● Shared Radio Interfaces
● QoS
● SLA
