2What is IoT?

first proposed by Kevin Ashton in 1999

• The Internet of Things connects every day consumer objects and industrial equipment onto the network, enabling information gathering and management of these devices via software in order to increase efficiency, enable new services, or achieve other health, safety, or environmental benefits.

Kevin Ashton, a British technologist in 1999 was Executive Director at MIT’s Auto-ID Center, an RFID research consortium

3The Internet Waves

1. The 1990s: fixed Internet connected 1 billion users via PCs

2. The 2000s: mobile Internet connected 3 billion users via smartphones (on its way to 6 billion),

3. IoT is emerging as a third bigger Internet wave

• IoT is expected to connect 50 billion “things” to the Internet by 2020! [1 min]

• The IoT is also gaining momentum through the cloud and by 2020 there will be nearly as many machine-to-machine (M2M) connections as there are people on earth.

• E.g. Smart cars will have nearly four M2M modules per car.

4By 2020 the Internet traffic will shift dramatically!

• Most of the IP traffic will originate from other than personal computers (PCs). Wi-Fi traffic will exceed wired traffic and Full HD video will generate more traffic than standard video.

• According to a recent report issued by Cisco, the number of connected devices (i.e. through IPv6 and evolution) will grow to some 50 billion devices by 2020. The internet traffic will be close to 44 Zettabytes (i.e. 10^21 bytes)!

• In the Football World Cup in Brazil (june 2014), the Video streaming and internet broadcasting have generated 4.3 exabytes (i.e. 10^18 bytes) of IP traffic, which is 3X the monthly IP traffic typically generated by Brazil.

6Barriers to IoT’s adoption• Security concerns – Security concerns escalate to a whole new level, given the potential for

privacy violations or safety issues due to the ability to remotely manipulate physical assets

• Regulation and compliance – as many IoT implementations are being mandated by the governments, such as the eCall connected car requirement in Europe, the rail safety act in the US, or smart grid mandates around the world

• Standards –business is hesitant to invest in connecting assets that may become “stranded” if the communications standards will change. For example, smart gas meters, although technologically easy, are very critical and expensive to deploy, as they go in volumes

• Ease of use – Some of the early success stories in IoT have benefited from their ease of use, such as the Nest thermostat (acquired by Google). eHealth is much more complicated!

IPv6 (6LoWPAN, RPL)


Over the past few years, industry developed the standards enabling IP based applications on smart objects:

• 6LoWPAN – An adaptation layer to transport IPv6 over low power wireless communication links (RFC 6282 for 802.15.4), support for other links (e.g. DECT ULE, BTLE) is under development at the IETF

• RPL – An IPv6 routing protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (standardized as RFC 6550 (and related), Adopted by SEP 2.0, WAVENIS, P1901.2)

• Security – Proven protocols, available at multiple layers above IP, enabling end-to-end security, e.g. TLS and DTLS

• CoAP – An application layer protocol for resource-constrained internet devices: new protocol, RESTful, designed for simplified integration of smart objects with the web Final draft submitted for publication

9Why IoT should be different from pervasive computing

or similar stuff??

1. Today major companies have come out with real products that enable aspects of autonomous decision and interface/sensoring the environment.

2. Additionally, the enabling semiconductors including sensors, microcontrollers and communications chips (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, ZigBee) have seen ultra low-power capability and steep price declines that now make connected end points affordable at price less than $100.

3. Android is in!


10ST fosters innovation on IoT• SPIRIT: As we drove MEMS adoption by the mobile phone market five years ago, ST is unique in its

having all the sensor technologies, together with the extremely low-power SPIRIT1 RF wireless radio for home, office and industrial use, and our Bluetooth Low Energy radio for wearable applications, to drive the IoT market development and create the next MEMS wave.”

• Designs application around the STM32 family of ARM® Cortex®-M microcontroller is full of opportunities. We invite Researchers all over the world to use their imagination and their love of innovation to create the next big thing for the IoT. The STM32 Design Challenge is open to everybody: Registration and submission of projects on ST Facebook where you can get your free STM32 Nucleo board (compliant with Arduino) and the Android based tool kit.

(Making Things Smarter)

It used to tell you the time

Now it tells you what to do

It used to remind you of someone close to

your heart

Now it reminds you to take care of your

heart

It used to just provide power

Now it talks to your machines and tells you how much they

are consuming

They used to help you see clearly

Now they help you to see more

15Wearables – the First Wave of the IoT

Why do wearable devices take off?

• They address real needs

• Build upon the cellular infrastructure of the smartphone – providing local and Internet connectivity as well as the screen and interface capabilities

• Based on a existing connectivity standards

• lower entry barrier than most consumers

• High volume of tiny components allows to drop cost and size 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017
