Internet of Things: What Is Really Happening¶
Date: November 2014 Slides: slideshare.net/totto
The IoT market landscape mapped across three dimensions: open vs closed ecosystems, instrumenting machines vs the physical world, and autonomous vs collaborative systems. A 2014 snapshot of what was actually happening underneath the hype.
What the talk covers¶
Market mapping. IoT was being talked about by everyone but understood differently by everyone. The talk structures the landscape across three axes — open vs closed ecosystems, instrumenting machines vs the physical world, autonomous devices vs collaborative ecosystems — giving the audience a framework to place specific players and products.
The major players. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, GE, and Cisco are mapped against this framework, showing where their strategies were converging and where they differed.
Key technology components. Radios and communication protocols, real-time analytics platforms, sensors, data collection pipelines, and actuators — what each layer actually does and where the complexity lives.
What matters architecturally. Security, scalability, and open standards are identified as the load-bearing concerns that most IoT discussions skip over in favour of the exciting application layer.
Norway specifically. A look at where Norwegian IoT opportunities were emerging: health, oil and gas, transportation, and other sectors where sensor data and remote monitoring had clear economic value.
