• Focus on end-to-end scenarios and applications and envisage future
needs
• use open standards for communication
• user experience is very important
• What features and capabilities should companies pursue?
• Companies need some or all of the capabilities:
• sensors (domain), application domain expertise
• communication protocols, embedded systems, hardware design,
• cloud computing, application development and data analytics
• What are the opportunities and Challenges for IoT in India?
• See slide 7
Discussion points
• What is the new infrastructure required for building smart
devices?
• Majority of the stacks, so far, have focused on communication
aspects and cloud storage.
• BT, Zigbee and WiFi are leading the communication protocol
• Some standardization with Device frameworks Apple HomeKit,
Google Brillo
• Power management is the key
• Data aggregation using cloud, analytics
• Who are the ecosystem players and how should they work
together in a coordinated manner?
• Sensor manufacturers, Device manufacturers,
• Application developers, platform providers
• System integrators. System integrators play a pivotal role
• Evolve business models than can benefit all the partners
• The advantages offered by smart, connected products and
how can we leverage all this in the context of India?
