4 Questions to ask if Considering IoT

What is IoT?
The concept of connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet,
which can include cellphones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones,
lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of…
IoT is Driven by a Combination of:

Sensory devices can measure
everything from temperature
to pressure changes.
Sensors

Connectivity
Inputs that are digitized and
placed into networks

The networked inputs can be
combined into bi-directional
systems that integrate data,
people, processes and
systems for better decision
making.
People
& Processes

Technology
Hardware that makes it all happen

RFID
Used to identify (and obtain information about)
products and equipment marked with RFID tags
Radio frequency Identification

Wi-Fi
With Wi-Fi, it is possible to create high-speed
wireless local area networks, provided that the
computer to be connected is not too far from the
access point.
Wireless Fidelity

Zigbee IEEE 802.15.4
Includes authentication with valid devices, higher
level of security and a data routing and forwarding
capability that enables mesh networking.
Interface for Fiber Optic Relays

Barcodes
Allows user to keep a centralized record on a
computer system that tracks products, prices, and
stock levels.
Barcodes & Scanners

Smartphones
Numerous sensors on your phone allow it to
recognize light, proximity, acceleration, temperature,
pressure, magnetic fields, radiation and fingerprints
– just to name a few.
Sensors

Practical Usage
Daily usage of IoT

The IoT Market
How big is the IoT market projected to be?

Largest Revenue Opportunities
Verticals seeing the largest growth

Home automation,
transportation and logistics,
healthcare, infrastructure and
industry top the list.
