2. IOT – Gartners Prediction
• The predictions from Gartner is 26 billion IoT
units deployed by 2020
• Product and service suppliers positioned to
rake in revenue of more than $300 billion.

3. IOT is a Disruptive Technology

4. IOT – Challenges
• IoT is not an out of box solution which can be
deployed as a plug and play solution.
• Technical and Procedural challenges have to
be surmounted before IOT deployment.
• IOT calls for expertise from business and
technology teams.
• It is a medley of networks, networking
devices, power supplies especially batteries,
security, access and data processing.

5. IOT – Challenges
• Generation of large volumes of raw data poses
its own challenges for storing and analytics.
• The challenge is also transforming the
organization as a data-driver organization.
• Ownership of Big Data and focus on getting the
analytics right.
• Basic data analytical skills will not suffice – we
will need people who know analytics and
understand what this new data can do for their
business.

6. IOT in Agriculture
• Agriculture - loT-related technologies are used to
monitor crops in real time
• Benefits
– improved yield
– Better quality
– Conserve pesticides, fertilizers and water.
• Utility companies – IOT powered smart meters to
monitor energy, gas, and water consumption.
• Municipalities – Launch of smart cities to ease
traffic congestion, improve waste management,
and control street lights

7. IOT in Utilities
• Utility companies – IOT powered smart meters
to monitor energy, gas, and water
consumption.
• Benefits
– Better Monitoring
– Improved Revenue Realization
– Conservation of Natural Resources

8. IOT in Municipalities
• Municipalities – Launch of smart cities
• Benefits
– Ease traffic congestion
– Improve waste management
– Control street lights
– Quality of life for citizens
– Monitor Mobile Cell Tower Radiation
– Air & Noise Pollution

9. IOT in Law Enforcement
• Smart firearms and accessories
• Real time gun monitoring
• Wearable (Google Glasses)
• Motorola’s Robocop-esque HC1 Headset
Computer allows noise free communication and
full vision of the area around the user, responds
to voice commands.
• Body-worn cameras which can send video
directly to a cloud database where it can’t be
altered is gaining momentum

10. IOT in Health Care
• Health Care Sector - Organizations are connecting their
medical devices into a network to monitor their operation
of medication management; anaesthesia workstations in
operating rooms, to dispensation of medications at nursing
stations and inventory management.
• Benefits
– Improved efficiency
– Lower personnel costs
– Seamless integration of prescription to patient for drug
delivery and monitoring
– Cost Savings in Drugs

14. Beacons
• Beacons are low-cost, low-powered transmitters equipped with
Bluetooth Low Energy or BLE (also called Bluetooth 4.0 or Bluetooth
Smart) that can be used to deliver proximity-based, context-aware
messages.
• Ideal for detecting smartphones indoors, where GPS isn’t always
effective, and sending alerts and data to apps on those devices. Also
while GPS operates at a macro range, beacons work at micro range,
giving brands an opportunity to interact with customers not only at a
store level but also target narrowly at an aisle or a fixture level.
• Range in which beacons function in the interim of NFC (too narrow)
and GPS (too broad) ranges, and that is what makes it more effective
than the other two.
• Beacons rely on the two-way communication (that the BLE technology
allows) between an app and a strategically placed beacon. The
technology gives brands and businesses an opportunity to build
innovative proximity-aware apps for any Bluetooth Low Energy-capable
mobile device.

15. Beacons
• It’s the first proximity technology (wmobile platforms) and are
inexpensive, have a battery life of 2 years and being low-energy,
they don’t even eat into a user’s phone battery.
• .The seeds for this revolutionary technological advancement
were sown last year, when Apple introduced iBeacon during
the launch of iOS7 at the World Wide Developer Conference.
• Apple’s iBeacon is built into all its devices manufactured since
2013. Around 200 million iOS devices are thus, forever
enabled to serve as transmitters and receivers.

16. Barriers to Beacons Adoption
• The only barrier to wide adoption of beacon technology is
– several layers of security
– customers have to turn on Bluetooth,
– accept location services on the relevant app
– and opt-in to receive in-store or indoor
