1. The ABC of the
Internet of Things
May 2014Helene Andre
2. As simple as ABC
From computing devices to an everyday devices’
connectivity
• Miniaturization & nanotechnologies partially enable
the growth of the Internet of things
• As sensors become a low-cost technology, it is
cheaper and cheaper to add them to any device
Machine-to-Machine communications begin to
power billions of everyday devices, from parking
meters to home thermostats
3. As simple as ABC
Three market segments in the IoT
Hardware
Devices & sensors
Software
Computing power
Network
Telcoms & IoT platforms
Arduino
Raspberry Pi
Nike+ API
4. IoT & Big data
The virtuous circle
Big data is high volume, velocity & variety information
Connected devices create, collect & communicate
big data
The present model works with specific sensors
communicating with a single specific cloud
application
The future will see an Internet of Things where
billions of devices are connected to each other, all
sharing data via the Internet
5. • An increasing number of
connections
• VC funds invested over $1 billion
in IoT startups in 2013
1.9 billion connected devices today
9 billions in 2018
