This document discusses the components of an IoT solution and introduces Thing Building Blocks (TBB) as a platform for connecting devices to the cloud. TBB allows device manufacturers to focus on their core technology by providing out-of-the-box services and connectivity modules for device management, cloud infrastructure, data processing, and apps/analytics. It offers benefits like reduced time-to-market, lower costs, and the ability to customize solutions. The document demonstrates TBB's architecture and how it addresses challenges around deciding between cloud-based or gateway-based logic and data handling for IoT solutions.

8. IoT Design Dilemmas

9.  Cloud – the ideal
◦ Protects IP
◦ Data privacy (raw signal = less risk)
◦ Lower TCO
◦ High availability/durability
◦ HIPAA, GDPR, BAA
 Gateway ("fog") – the reality
◦ Offline
◦ True real time
◦ Data BW is large
Where is the Logic & Data?
