OVERVIEW

Estimates for Internet of Things or IoTmarket value are massive, since by definitionthe IoT is an integrated and diffused layer ofdevices, sensors, and computing power thatoverlays entire consumer, business-to-business, and government industries. The IoTwill account for an increasingly huge numberof connections: 1.9 billion devices today, and9 billion by 2018.

That year, it will be roughly equal tothe number of smartphones, smartTVs, tablets, wearable computers,and PCs combined. In the consumerspace, many products and serviceshave already crossed over into theIoT, including kitchen and homeappliances, parking, RFID, lightingand heating products, and a numberof applications in Industrial Internet.

However the underlying technologies of IoT are nothing new as M2M communication existed since the birth of Internet.

OVERVIEW

However what changed in last couple of years isthe emergence of number of inexpensive wirelesstechnologies added by overwhelming adaptationof smart phones and Tablet in every home.Explosive growth of mobile devices led to presentdemand of IoT.

Due to unbounded opportunities in IoT business,a large number of small and medium sizedentrepreneurs jumped on a bandwagon of IoTgold rush. Also due to emergence of open sourceelectronics and IoT platform, cost of developmentof IoT system and further managing its sizableproduction is increasingly affordable. Existingelectronic product owners are experiencingpressure to integrate their device with Internetor Mobile app.

This event is intended for a technology andbusiness review of an emerging industry so thatIoT enthusiasts/entrepreneurs can grasp thebasics of IoT technology and business.

OBJECTIVES

Main objective of the Conference is to introduce emerging technological options, platforms and case studies of IoT implementation in home & city automation (smart homes and cities), Industrial Internet, healthcare, Govt., Mobile Cellular and other areas.
