Editor's Notes
…and I’m not alone in thinking that it’s a big thing.
This is using Google Trends - great way of spotting things in different locations (headaches trending).
It shows percentage searches (from the peak) over the last 5 years.
LinkedIn
Linked in has see a 4 x increase in job searches around iot in 2017
IoT is a big thing…
This is a graph showing the global share of IoT enterprise projects
At the top - smart cities and cars - but not a lot happening at the lower end

Then it’s taking it really seriously
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term coined by Kevin Ashton, a British technology pioneer who conceived a system of ubiquitous sensors connecting the physical world to the Internet.
Although things, Internet, and connectivity are the three core components of IoT,
The value is in closing the gap between the physical and digital world in self-reinforcing and self-improving systems.
IoT is an enormous topic but today we are here to plan actions not discuss what it might be. Connecting the physical to digital worlds promises new ways of tackling today’s issues on both rural and urban settings. We believe that the best way of understanding the opportunities is to start implementing some of the technology and learning - simple, small and low cost. We can all learn together.
A key requirement for IoT is to be able to collect data from thousands of sensors spread across our cities and rural communities - LOW POWER RADIO is one one way. We want to start using LoRa to find the best applications and to learn how to deploy it successfully.
Mine is a simple proof of concept. Raspberry Pi is the only cost but could use any computer.
Cheap, battery powered node with a range of kms.
Sensor could be detecting anything - location, CO2, open/closed
Backend could bee anything - mobile app, web service
