11. IoT Report: How Billions of touchpoints impact customers
CELFOCUS - Future Cities
Sponsored by
Mature IoT will be characterized by continuous hyper-internetworking of unprecedented volumes of data and
information, generated by, and harvested from, many billions of devices, platforms, applications and people.
As such, IoT will have the potential to dramatically expand the number and variety of business opportunities
for many different types of digital service providers.
In turn, this will have big implications for the relationships between service providers (and their service delivery
partners) and customers.

12. Timely
Real-time will be
required on all stacks
such as industrial,
automotive or medical
scenarios known as
life-critical. Some
things may be
available as best-
effort, like traffic
cameras or parking
lots. In such scenarios,
near-real-time can be
sufficient.
Information and access
must be managed
accordingly timing
needs.
Security
Translating real-life
information and events
into a digital form is
beneficial for energy or
process efficiency.
Privacy and trust are
mandatory attributes in
any solution.
Cloud services can be
seen as leveraging
IoT, but cautions must
be taken to avoid
leakage or elicit
access.
Owner User Thing Others

Things
Devices such as
sensors and/or
actuators need to be
mapped to correct
profile.
Insight
Must allow multiple levels
of analytics, including
device, core/IT.
Data
Information gathering,
analysis and sharing
must follow legal
obligations.
Charging
It is crucial to be able to
charge based on multiple
scenarios, including
different standards,
business rules and be
able to manage shared
data bundles.
Interfaces
APIs or Apps must be
available in these
ecosystem.
