Most current IoT applications are similar to
Web 1.0 apps!
– Mostly comprised of one way publishing of
data (machine to person)!
– Stove pipe apps!
– Dedicated terminal and / or desktop access

7. IoT 1.0 Examples

8. IoT 1.x!: Moving to real-time
More compelling IoT applications are
emerging!
These newer applications make use of
location, context and time as well as
sensor data to drive more real-time
decision making

9. IoT 1.x example

10. IoT 2.0?
Ability for machines to talk to one another!
Ability for machines to react to events from
one another!
Anywhere access to the information!
Real-time actions/analytics!
Invisible

11. IoT 2.0 Example

12. What is needed to get there?
In order to make this type of application
possible we need:!
– IoT mobile gateway – to manage mobile
device and other display/wearable integration!
– IoT application server

13. IoT Application Server
An IoT Application Server needs to have the
following features:!
