1. The Internet of Things (IoT) and Analytics
Class 2: A Look at Communications & Devices
March 8, 2016 Louis W. Giokas

2. This Week’s Agenda
Monday The Different Things of the IoT Tuesday A Look at Communications and Devices Wednesday Cloud Storage and Formats in the IoT Thursday Examples of Big Data Analysis Friday Machine Learning & Analysis Techniques

3. Course Description The IoT generates a vast amount of data.
This data can be used for many purposes, from product design, service and support, marketing, and control.
There are three levels of devices: the things, communications infrastructure and storage.
Tying it all together are analytic techniques.
In this course, we will build from the bottom up and then look at how the analytics infrastructure can be used in applications.

4. Today’s Agenda Importance of Communications Overview
Industrial IoT Communications
Consumer IoT Communications

5. Importance of Communications
Communications is the glue that holds the IoT together.
At all levels, communications, with storage and distributed (e.g., cloud) computing are enablers
One way: systems just measure
Two way: measurement and control

6. Importance of Communications
Communications infrastructure takes many forms
Often many “hops”
Bluetooth to cellular to the Internet
Developing communications infrastructure is often tied to product development.
Especially true in Industrial settings
Cellular data transmission is a key enabler in Infrastructure settings

7. Importance of Communications
We will look at some architectures/standards that are commonly used.
Devices that are enablers of an integrated IoT communications infrastructure will be discussed:
These are not exclusive, but are used as examples
There are many options

22. Summary and Preview
Communications is the glue that holds the IoT together
Efficient communications makes possible timely analysis and action
Tomorrow we will discuss how we store the data in preparation for analysis.
