1. The Internet of Things: Location Based Context Aware Opportunities
2013-2023
The Internet of Things expands the internet to objects, allowing other objects and people to
monitor and automate functions based on pre-set needs. It has its beginnings in sensor networks,
smart phones and location based services but the opportunities are smart cities, smart utility and
home infrastructure and much more. However, despite the enormous opportunity progress must
start in a focused way. This report dissects the enabling technologies - hardware and software -
the market opportunity, case studies, strategies, players and global trends.
New services will be provided and many business models need to be assessed. Consumers
usually expect information for free, or in return for providing data. Industry seeks to use the
Internet of Things for machine to machine automation, making processes and supply chain more
efficient, save money and create wealth. Governments do not always seek an ROI in monetary
terms but intend to scale cities for the future huge populations, improve safety and much more.
The "fabric" of the Internet of Things crosses most endeavours.
This is the first analyst-led report that gives readers the unbiased view of the current progress,
bringing the whole complex topic together and breaking it down into its constituents and
analysing the value chain. It provides market forecasts and assesses drivers, how painful user
pain points really are, and case studies.
