Future With IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of things (probably i should call “physical objects”) that has software,sensors, and network connectivity embedded in it, which enables these objects to interact each other and exchange data.
The Internet of Things create opportunities for direct integration between the physical world and computer or smartphone-based systems by allowing these objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy.
GOOGLE highlighted the following applications under consideration:
-
Machine-to-machine communication
-
Machine-to-infrastructure communication
-
Telehealth: remote or real-time pervasive monitoring of patients, diagnosis and drug delivery
-
Continuous monitoring of, and firmware upgrades for, vehicles
-
Asset tracking of goods on the move
-
Automatic traffic management
-
Remote security and control
-
Environmental monitoring and control
-
Home and industrial building automation
-
“Smart” applications, including cities, water, agriculture, buildings, grid, meters, broadband, cars, appliances, tags, animal farming and the environment, to name a fewTHIS IS ALL ABOUT SMARTNESSThere is no IoT without the word “smart”. Making an object smart enough reduces human efforts and saves lot of time. This is why we go for IoT. This is the future.The following are the few examples IoT gadgets:
As per the list of countries by IoT devices online per 100 inhabitants as published by the OECD in 2015 INDIA falls under 24th rank with 0.6 Devices Online ,which is very less when compared to other developed and under developing countriesKevin Ashton coined "Internet of Things" phrase to describe a system where the Internet is connected to the physical world via ubiquitous sensorsHow Ubiquitous?Gartner: “IoT Installed Base Will Grow to 26 Billion Units By 2020.” That number might be too low.Every mobile, Every auto, Every door, Every room Every sensor in every device in every table, bed, chair or bracelet in every home, office, building or hospital in every country, city, village on this planet.The Challenges- Lightweight protocols for devices to work together, communicate
- Unique and extensible identifiers for all those billions of devices
- Cybersecurity
Every one of those sensor and control points is generating data. Often, it's very informative and very private data. Systems are needed to help those devices talk to each other, manage all that data, and enforce proper access control.Hope this is helpful and you like it ☺
