Internet of Things (IoT)
NETWORK DESIGN
What is the internet of things (IoT)?
The internet of things, or IoT, is a network of interrelated devices

that connect and exchange data with other IoT devices and the
cloud. IoT devices are typically embedded with technology such as
sensors and software and can include mechanical and digital
machines and consumer objects.
Why is IoT important?
IoT helps people live and work smarter. Consumers,
for example, can use IoT-embedded devices -- such
as cars, smartwatches or thermostats -- to improve
their lives. For example, when a person arrives
home, their car could communicate with the garage
to open the door; their thermostat could adjust to a
preset temperature; and their lighting could be set
to a lower intensity and color.
What are the benefits of IoT to organizations?
Improves the customer experience.
Saves time and money.
Enhances employee productivity.
Provides integration and adaptable business
models.
Enables better business decisions.
Generates more revenue
advantages of IoT include the following:
Enables access to information from anywhere
at any time on any device.
Improves communication between connected
electronic devices.
Enables the transfer of data packets over a
connected network, which can save time and
money.
Collects large amounts of data from multiple
devices, aiding both users and manufacturers.
Analyzes data at the edge, reducing the amount
of data that needs to be sent to the cloud.
Automates tasks to improve the quality of a
business's services and reduces the need for
human intervention.

Enables healthcare patients to be cared for
continually and more effectively.
disadvantages of IoT include the following:
Increases the attack surface as the number of
connected devices grows. As more information is
shared between devices, the potential for a hacker to
steal confidential information increases.
Makes device management challenging as the number
of IoT devices increases. Organizations might
eventually have to deal with a massive number of IoT
devices, and collecting and managing the data from
all those devices could be challenging.
disadvantages of IoT include the following:
Has the potential to corrupt other connected devices
if there's a bug in the system.
Increases compatibility issues between devices, as
there's no international standard of compatibility for
IoT. This makes it difficult for devices from different
manufacturers to communicate with each other.
IoT standards and frameworks
International Electrotechnical Commission.

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE).
Industrial Internet Consortium.
Open Connectivity Foundation.
Thread Group.
Connectivity Standards Alliance.
Some examples of IoT standards include the following:
IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area

Networks (6LoWPAN) is an open standard defined
by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). This
standard enables any low-power radio to
communicate to the internet, including 804.15.4,
Bluetooth Low Energy and Z-Wave for home
automation. In addition to home automation, this
standard is also used in industrial monitoring and
agriculture
Zigbee is a low-power, low-data rate wireless

network used mainly in home and industrial settings.
ZigBee is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The
ZigBee Alliance created Dotdot, the universal
language for IoT that enables smart objects to work
securely on any network and understand each other.
Data Distribution Service (DDS) was developed by

the Object Management Group and is an industrial
IoT (IIoT) standard for real-time, scalable and high-
performance machine-to-machine (M2M)
communication.
IoT protocols include the following:
Constrained Application Protocol. CoAP is a protocol

designed by the IETF that specifies how low-power,
compute-constrained devices can operate in IoT.
Advanced Message Queuing Protocol. The AMQP is
an open source published standard for asynchronous
messaging by wire. AMQP enables encrypted and
interoperable messaging between organizations and
applications. The protocol is used in client-server
messaging and in IoT device management
IoT protocols include the following:
Long-Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN). This

protocol for WANs is designed to support huge
networks, such as smart cities, with millions of low-
power devices.
MQ Telemetry Transport. MQTT is a lightweight
protocol that's used for control and remote
monitoring applications. It's suitable for devices with
limited resources.
IoT frameworks include the following:
Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT is a cloud
computing platform for IoT released by Amazon. This
framework is designed to enable smart devices to
easily connect and securely interact with the AWS
cloud and other connected devices.
Arm Mbed IoT is an open source platform to develop
apps for IoT based on Arm microcontrollers. The goal
of this IoT platform is to provide a scalable,
connected and secure environment for IoT devices by
integrating Mbed tools and services.
IoT frameworks include the following:
Microsoft Azure IoT Suite platform is a set of services that let
users interact with and receive data from their IoT devices, as
well as perform various operations over data, such as
multidimensional analysis, transformation and aggregation, and
visualize those operations in a way that's suitable for business.
Calvin is an open source IoT platform from Ericsson designed for
building and managing distributed applications that let devices
talk to each other. Calvin includes a development framework for
application developers, as well as a runtime environment for
handling the running application.
HISTORY OF IOT
Kevin Ashton, co-founder of the Auto-ID Center at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), first mentioned the
internet of things in a presentation he made in 1999 to Procter &
Gamble (P&G). Wanting to bring radio frequency ID to the attention
of P&G's senior management, Ashton called his presentation
"Internet of Things" to incorporate the cool new trend of 1999: the
internet. MIT professor Neil Gershenfeld's book, When Things Start
to Think, also appeared in 1999. Although the book didn't use the
exact term, it provided a clear vision of where IoT was headed.
