 CISCO'S PREVISION

In 2008 the number of things connected

to the Internet was greater than the
people living on Earth.

Within 2020 the number of things

connected to the Internet will be about
50 billion.
IoT and its applications
 Definition
The Internet of Things, also called The Internet of
Objects, refers to a wireless network between objects.
The semantic origin of the expression is composed by
two words and concepts: Internet and Thing,
where Internet can be defined as The world-wide
network of interconnected computer networks, based
on a standard communication protocol, the Internet
suite (TCP/IP), while Thing is an object not
precisely identifiable Therefore, semantically,
Internet of Things means a world-wide network of
interconnected objects uniquely addressable, based
on standard

IoT and its applications

The term "Internet of Things" has come to
describe a number of technologies and
research disciplines that enable the Internet
to reach out into the real world of physical
objects.
(Things having identities and virtual
personalities operating in smart spaces
using intelligent interfaces to connect and
communicate within social, environmental,
and user contexts.

 RFID

IoT and its applications

RFID
Radio Frequency IDentification:
a system for finding the position of a
product using radio signals
Widely used in Transport and
Logistics
Easy to deploy: RFID tags and RFID
readers
The communication range and the
frequency depends on the type of
technology
IoT and its applications
 WiFi

IoT and its applications

 WiFi
Very common
Widely used both in indoor and outdoor
environments
General purpose
Low cost
Highly interoperable
Maybe not a good solution in some
special conditions
IoT and its applications
Barcode e QR Code

IoT and its applications

 Barcode e QR Code
Low cost
No technological difficulties
Several devices can read a barcode
Starting point for more complex systems
Example: price comparison

IoT and its applications

 ZigBee

IoT and its applications

 ZigBee
Low cost

IoT and its applications

Sensors and smartphones
In the near future almost everybody
will probably have a smartphone
A smartphone isn't just a mobile
phone that has access to the Internet
The iPhone has a lot of different types
of sensors

 Transport and Logistics
One of the first business sectors
interested in IoT technologies
Currently two systems are already
available and deployed: ConLock and
ContainerSafe
Integration of light sensors, GPS and
GSM

 Web of Things

To achieve IoT we need a universal protocol

to combine several heterogeneous devices.
This protocol should be: simple, lightweight,
loosely-coupled, scalable, flexible and
standard.

Sounds like the WEB

IoT and its applications

 Web of Things
Several technologies and protocols already
available and widely accepted by the
community:
HTTP, TCP, IPV6, XML, JSON, RSS, ATOM,
REST, WS-*, URI, etc.
URI to make the objects easily identifiable and
addressable
XML, WS-* and REST to allow the objects to
expose their features and to communicate with
external or centralized services

IoT and its applications

The challenge of IoT
1. Technological Standardization in most areas
2. are still remain fragmented.

3. Managing and fostering rapid innovation is

4. a challenge for governments .

5. Privacy.

6. Absence of governance.

CONCLUSION :
From any time ,any place connectivity for
anyone, we will now have connectivity
for anything!
