This document discusses realtime mobile and IoT solutions using MQTT and IBM MessageSight. It describes MQTT as a publish/subscribe messaging protocol designed for mobile and telemetry devices that allows for decoupled applications and reliable message delivery. IBM MessageSight is presented as an appliance that can handle millions of connections and events with high performance, reliability, and security for mobile, IoT, and M2M applications. Use cases discussed include connected vehicles, cities, devices, and more.

1. Realtime Mobile and IOT Solutions Using MQTT
Ravi Katikala ITS, WebSphere Technical Sales Chris Baker ITS, WebSphere Technical Sales

2. The Compelling Experience
•Information is relevant and contextual
•Data arrives when you need it, not when you ask for it
•The app provides a collaborative, social experience
•Services are integrated seamlessly together
•“response time = revenue”
What makes an application delight to use?

3. The World is Changing…

4. New Customer Interaction Points for the 21st Centuty Devices & Mobiles will be the touch points that drive new revenue streams

5. MQTT for Mobile Messaging and IOT
•Publish/subscribe messaging protocol designed for mobile and telemetry devices
•Open (royalty-free), simple, lightweight, easy to implement
•Allows for decoupled applications (“Internet of Things”)
•Quality of service for assured message delivery
•MQTT clients connect to an MQTT broker
What is it?
•Connected vehicles (ex. Sprint Velocity)
•Connected cities (ex. NYPD ESU)
•Connected people (ex. Facebook Messenger)
•...and everywhere else
Where is it?

6. Why MQTT?
•Publish/subscribe messaging
–Transmit information one to many
–Subscribe to interesting topics
–Distribute small data packets in huge volumes
•" Quality of Service (QoS) for assured messaging
–“At most once”, “At least once”, “Exactly once”
•" Simple API
–3 verbs: Connect, Publish, Subscribe (+ Receive)
–Useful features: Last Will and Testament, Retain
–Clients everywhere (40+)
•JavaScript, C, C++, Python, Node.js, Java, Ruby, etc.
•" Lightweight
–2-byte header, low latency
–Mobile (LTE) = ~100ms, Browser (Wifi) = ~50ms (RTT)

•240K wasn’t the limit – ran out of clients
•MQTT versus HTTPS on Android 3G:
–93x higher throughput and much lower latency
–1/10th the bandwidth overhead.
–179x lower battery use for receiving messages (high volume)
–10x lower battery use for sending messages
–50% lower battery for push connections (240 sec keep-alive)
