4. What is Internet of things ?
“Internet of Things refers to the concept that the
Internet is no longer just a global network for
people to communicate with one another using
computers, but it is also a platform for devices to
communicate electronically with the world around
them.”
5. History of IoT
The concept of the Internet of Things first became popular in 1999 and the term is
coined by Kevin Ashton.
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) was seen as a prerequisite for the IoT at that point.
If all objects and people in daily life were equipped with identifiers, computers could
manage and inventory them. Besides using RFID, the tagging of things may be achieved
through such technologies as near field communication(NFC), Sensors, barcodes, QR
codes, ZigBee, Bluetooth, and digital watermarking.
7. How it works ?
Sensors & Sensor technology
IOT Gateways
Cloud/server infrastructure & Big Data
End-user Mobile apps
IPv6 - Internet is concerned about IP addresses, hence IP addresses are the backbone to the
entire IoT ecosystem. To achieve IoT we need a universal protocol to combine several
heterogeneous devices. This protocol should be simple, scalable, flexible and standard-Web of
things i.e IPv6, with IPv6 we now have 3.4*10^38 IP addresses!
8. Applications of IOT
"The Ultimate Goal of IOT is to Automate Human Life"
Smart homes
Wearables
Smart city
Medical and healthcare system
Transportation & Logistics
Manufacturing
13. Limitations of IOT
Privacy
Security
If misunderstood and misconfigured, IoT poses risk to our data, privacy, and safety
If understood and secured, IoT will enhance communications, lifestyle, and delivery of services
14. Future of IOT
Digital identity for every human, creature, and objects
Everybody and everything is traceable and trackable
Technology is pervasive but invisible
Everything can access everything else remotely
Unpredictable developments...
A future where "billions of things are talking to each other"
