In this presentation we will talk about the IoT trends and technological solutions in 2016. We will discuss about the role of developers, smart homes, wearable and connected cars. This presentation is the result of our yearly strategic review. The IoT market is experiencing explosive growth around the world. It is becoming a much more mature field and our aim is to build services for this world.

Over the years, the predictions for growth in the Internet of Things and
machine-to-machine markets have been staggering:
• 2010, IBM: “A world of 1 trillion connected devices” by 2015.
• 2011, Ericsson’s CEO, Hans Vestberg: “50 billion connected devices” by
2020.
• 2013, ABI Research report: “30 billion” by 2020.
• 2013, Morgan Stanley report: “75 billion devices connected to the IoT”
by 2020.
• 2014, an Intel infographic: “31 billion devices connected to Internet” by
2020.
• 2014, ABI Research updated report: “41 billion active wireless
connected devices” by 2020.
• 2015, Gartner Research: “4.9 billion connected things in use in 2015 …
and will reach 25 billion
by 2020.”

Although the specific predictions and the numbers differ, what is
remarkable is that the numbers predicted for 2020 have been
consistently extremely high over the years.
The markets are experiencing explosive growth around the world, and
the numbers are still performing at what Gartner calls the “peak of
inflated expectations” in its well-known “Hype Cycle” diagrams.
The Gartner Hype Cycle showed the Internet of Things had hit the
peak of this curve in 2014, so we appear to finally be moving beyond
the hype into reality.

1. Platforms, not products, will determine who wins the
customer relationship.
2. Conversational platforms (voice, chat) are coming up
strong.
3. The rise of artificial intelligence fundamentally
challenges the central role of developers as creators of
use cases, but developers remain key in platform
strategies, if not for apps, then for services.

17. Near future of wearables
2/6/2016
17
In the near future, your gym will give you compression gear
to wear during your workout to produce energy from your
movement. The generators will then power little sensors
seamlessly integrated into your clothing, which
measure everything your body does: Kinematics, range of
motion, heart rate, sweat, reps, blood sugar, body fat and so
on.

18. Near future of wearables
2/6/2016
18
The gear connects to the cloud,
and when you reach a workout
station, a virtual coach
projected on the wall guides
you through your routine. Your
stats are automatically shared
with your friends, injury
information is provided to your
doctor, and you keep coming
back to the gym, because you
can tangibly see your
performance improving.

Virtual reality is an immersive experience in
which your head movements are tracked in a
three-dimensional world, making it ideally
suited to apps, games and movies.

21. Wearables Key facts
2/6/2016
21
Innovation in wearables is in full swing.
Soon …
1. brands will compete on digital identity
2. watches and AR/VR will compete on who has most apps
3. the most successful developers will build on top of data

25. A global market
2/6/2016
25
A study by McKinsey suggested that a rise in the number of
connected cars will increase “the value of the global market for
connectivity components and services to €170 billion by 2020”.
For many, the car is now turning into an extension of
the home, with drivers’ digital, social and mobile habits –
underpinned by technology advances – being integrated into
the vehicle. Through the use of sensors, which deliver data for
analysis, the connected car provides yet another opportunity to
understand driver characteristics, their needs, the
features they might appreciate, while introducing an
additional layer of safety.

27. Connected Cars Key facts
2/6/2016
27
1. The innovation focus in Connected Cars is shifting from
the dashboard to vehicle data, and in the future to data-
driven transportation platforms and services.
2. Actual car makers struggle to keep control over and to
gain access to the necessary supply chain, expertise, and
data to be leaders in this evolution.

34. Question #0
2/6/2016
34
What kinds of devices /systems is SSB currently
being used with?
Right now we are working on the integration between SSB
and Temboo API. Our first user case is based on gathering
data from Fitbit devices trough Temboo.
Right now SSB is active on solar plants, it also works on
many blood pressure devices like iHealth and Withings and
it’s integrated with Google Fit platform.

35. Question #1
2/6/2016
35
When do you see iot will have a standard?
We don’t think that a global standard will come this year due
to heavy fragmentation of devices and communication
protocols (usually not open). There are some interesting
projects like AllJoyn protocol initially developed by
Qualcomm. It has a lot of potential. Here there is an
interesting article if you want to know more:

36. Question #2
2/6/2016
36
Can you provide any resources for getting started
with programming in any of these hubs like
wearables/homes/etc.
One of the most interesting software hub for us is Temboo. It
connects to many devices and APIs, so it can a good start. It
can be used with arduino, texas instruments Iot platform
and many others. It’s used for a lot of IoT applications like
gas leak monitor, water management, soild quality, etc etc.
More information here: https://www.temboo.com/library/
Another interesting architecture is the Samsung’s
SmartThings. It’s one of the most used IoT hubs. Info:
http://docs.smartthings.com/en/latest/architecture/

37. Question #3
2/6/2016
37
Can we do IoT based stuff using arduino and zigbee?
Arduino is a great platform to start working on a prototype
for the IoT. We have tested a lot of sensors (temperature,
humidity, current measure, electric switches and so on).
We believe that it’s offering and the support from the
community are one of the key factors.

38. Question #4
2/6/2016
38
Can you give some good examples of IoT in smart
cities?
• One of the best examples is the work that is doing
Libelium company. Libelium manufactures hardware
and a SDK for wireless sensor networks for Internet of
Things (IoT), M2M, and Smart Cities solutions. Some
applications are smart parking, smartphone detection,
electromagnetic fields levels, traffic congestion, smart
lighting , irrigation and so on.

39. Question #4
2/6/2016

• Another interesting platform is Oracles’s smart city. It is
a modular solution made with high industrial standards.
The platform provides all ingredients to establish a
Sentient City Network, allowing cities to become livable
to its residents. Connectivity is the key to a Citywide
Nervous System infrastructure, collecting and sharing
feedback from all possible sources the basis, measuring
and sensing the actual quality of life in a city - the key
driver for actual change.
