What is IoT ?

“Can I connect a smartwatch to the Internet and deploy an app?” –a banking client

“IoT is just M2M reincarnated” –a manufacturing client

“IoT is a self organizing system of peripheral systems providing new and improved converged services”

–our architect

So, What is IoT again ?

IoT World Forum Reference Model, Oct 2014

An individual

edge software

function may

serve many applications

Edge software

can be sourced

completely

separately from

Challenges to IoT Solution Development & Deployment

- Solution delivery through a partner ecosystem

- Long development & go-to-market cycle

- Lack of domain knowledge for vertical solutions

- Diversity of devices, sensors and vendors

- Need for enterprise integration (including with legacy systems)

- Lack of standardization in the IoT world

- New & complex business models

- Policy-related issues in communication

- High capex for dedicated infrastructure


Driving Solution Acceleration

The Toolkit

Approach

Horizontal Platform

Modular Design

Open Architecture

Application Enablement

Rapid Prototyping

(Fail Fast)

Customization

Information Mash-Ups

Use frameworks comprising of inter-changeable solution components that can integrate with 3rd party components

Build solution components that adhere to open and emerging IoT standards (LW-M2M, IETF, OMA) thereby reducing technology risk

Libraries of functionalities that can be used to compose a solution thereby accelerating development

Use visual programing to focus on the solution rather than the integration and build prototypes that fail fast

Design specific solutions that can operate with existing systems

Merge information from various sub-systems and systems to derive intelligent insights from machine data, consumer & social data and other data streams


Reuse common infrastructure

Components of an Effective Toolkit

DevicesIntelligent hardware with low footprint and cost that are capable of sensing and driving an array of wireless and wired devices

Connectivity FrameworkProvides connectivity between Smart Devices themselves and between Smart Devices & Central Server. In other words, the removes the coupling between the application and the underlying devices

Analytics FrameworkA framework capable of handling high-volume, high-velocity data either in real-time or in batch-processing. Provides complex event processing, machine learning and data visualization

Management FrameworkCentral server for device management, service delivery and application enablement

Mobility FrameworkDeliver a lightweight mobile experience across platforms (Android & iOS) for information and insights on-the-go

Summary

- We need to educate our clients about the capabilities of IoT systems, including the challenges of the solution

- Edge software is unique for IoT systems

- Rapid prototyping is a must for IoT products and solutions

- A toolkit approach best serves the need for rapid prototyping. It includes - Reference Hardware - Connectivity Framework- Management Framework- Analytics Framework- Mobility Framework

- Building the complete solution requires additional integration and a partner ecosystem
