This document discusses Internet of Things (IoT) solutions using Microsoft Azure cloud services. It provides an overview of IoT, why the cloud is useful for IoT, and Azure IoT services. It also demonstrates connecting devices to Azure using protocols like MQTT and streaming data to analytics tools. Finally, it discusses IoT platforms and devices like Arduino that can be used to build IoT solutions.

3. Agenda
• Internet of Things – What it is?
• Why Cloud?
• Azure IoT services
• Demo
• IoT Protocols Trend
• IoT Platforms
• Devices for IoT

7. Evolution of IoT
• Earlier IoT systems
• Expensive on installing and maintaining
• Difficult implementation (No standard protocols, services etc..)
• Why IoT is booming?
• Cheaper hardware (sensors, processor boards, RF devices etc..)
• More standardization on Hardware platforms
• M2M protocols and easy connectivity of Heterogeneous systems

9. Why Cloud for IoT?
Three parts of an IoT solution
1 Device connectivity & management
2 Analytics & operationalized insights

Presentation & business
connectivity
Easy to provision, use and manage
Pay as you go, scale as you need
Global reach, hyper scale
End to end security & privacy

20. IoT Protocols trend
• MQTT (http://mqtt.org/)
• Available in the industry for more than 10 Year
• Open standard by IBM and adopted by many org
• Extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport
• Support for Windows/WEC, .net Micro framework, Linux, Android, iOS,
• Broker (server)/ Client Mechanism
• https://m2mqtt.codeplex.com/ - .net code for MQTT

21. IoT Protocols trend
• Alljoyn (https://allseenalliance.org/)
• Open source framework for IoT
• Initiated by Qualcomm and now it is growing bigger (Maintained by Allseen
Alliance)
• SDKs available for Windows/WEC, Linux, Android, iOS,
• .net MicroFramework (Available soon)
• SDK types
• Standard SDK
• Thin client SDK – for resource constrained devices
• Microsoft adopting this as a service in Windows 10 (various versions)

30. Arduino
• What is Arduino?
• Arduino is an open-source electronics platform
• Based on easy-to-use hardware and software.
• It's intended for anyone making innovative projects.
• Boards, Off-The-Shelf Shields, IJW Software, Kits
• http://www.arduino.cc/
• Hardware
• Variety of Implementations
• All implement the same hardware interface (or superset), same physical pin locations
• Arduino (various) ARM ATmega328 etc MPU
• .NET MF: Netduino
• Intel Galileo (Runs Headless version of Win 8.1)
• 86Duino (x86 Like Galileo but support Windows Embedded Compact)
