Sensor devices and connected "Things" are becoming more widely available for both personal and business use, allowing various devices and infrastructure to be interconnected in complex networks. This brings opportunities for technology trends around Internet of Things to impact many areas of life, with applications already emerging in transportation, healthcare, security, and daily activities. Key enabling technologies include RFID, WiFi, barcodes, ZigBee, and sensors in smartphones. The future of IoT is expected to include worldwide sensor networks, expanded home automation and monitoring of daily life, improved logistics and shipping tracking, advanced healthcare applications, though the space remains unpredictable.

RFID

8. 8
RFID
• 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

9. 9
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

Barcode e QR Code

11. 11
Barcode e QR Code
• Low cost
• No technological difficulties
• Several devices can read a barcode
• Starting point for more complex systems
• Example: price comparison

12. 12
ZigBee
• Low cost
• Very long battery life
• Easy to deploy
• Large number of nodes (up to 64770)
• Can be used globally
• Secure
• Ideal for WPAN and mesh networks
• Support for multiple network topologies

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

14. 14
Top Applications
• Traffic monitoring
• Health
• Security
• Transport and Logistics
• Daily life and domotics

Daily Life and Domotics

Many possible developments to Domotics

There are no standard and widely accepted solutions yet for
Domotics

A framework has been developed for Home Automation
applications: FreeDom

21. 21
The future of IoT
• World sensor networks
• Home automation and domotics
• Daily life (traffic monitoring, shopping, etc.)
• Tracking and shipping of goods
• Health
• Unpredictable developments...

The Challenge of IoT
1. Technological Standardization in most areas are still
remain fragmented.
2. Huge amount of Data
3. Managing and fostering rapid innovation is a challenge for
governments
4. Privacy and security
5. Testing of Multi-Discipline Systems
6. Absence of governance
