Introducing The Internet of Things
Technology Today #3
Time to take notice
“It is clear that the M2M market has moved from a period of
development towards a commercial deployment phase,”
said Jürgen Hase, Vice President M2M Competence Center,
Deutsche Telekom. “M2M is of significant strategic
importance to our business with huge growth potential
across a number of industry segments. We can already see
the impact it is having on our everyday lives.”
“Increasingly we at SingTel are focusing on solutions that
create more value for our customers beyond connectivity.
We are looking at different ways to deepen our offering,”
said Mr Zia Zaman, Vice President, Emerging Businesses
and Strategy, SingTel Group Enterprise.
“Initially our efforts were focused on making sure we were
providing excellent connectivity. Now that has been
achieved we are focusing on moving up the value chain.”
“Our customers are becoming more sophisticated in their
use of M2M technology and more aware of the
opportunities it creates. We believe that by aligning
ourselves with their approach to the market we are creating
new and stronger partnerships to help expand the adoption
and use of M2M globally,” Jari Salminen, M2M business
development at Vodafone.

What is the Internet of Things?
• The Internet of Things (IoT) comprises everyday objects directly connected
to the internet, using sensors to interpret their environment and able to
communicate autonomously
• Thus the IoT is predicated on genuine convergence between the digital
and physical worlds – truly a hybrid world
• GSMA analysis points to 195m global M2M connections in 2013 (with a
CAGR 2010-2013 of almost 40%) and forecasts a total of 250m M2M
connections by the end of 2014
• 2020 M2M connection forecasts range from 30bn(ABI) to 50bn (GSMA) or
75bn (Morgan Stanley)
Gartner Hype Cycle 2013
While M2M has sat in the trough since being included in 2011 – it is now positioned together with
AR VR and Mobile Health. Note also that the IoT is approaching the peak of inflated expectations

Technology Roadmap: Internet of Things
The global reach of M2M connections
• In 2013 a 2.8% share of global internet connections were M2M - regional
differences reflect the maturity of the M2M market
• In Q4 2013 GSMA Intelligence estimates that developing economies took a
52% share of global M2M Connections
• 10 countries account for 70% of all M2M connections – with 44% in the
USA or China combined
• The M2M share metric highlights developments in Sweden (23%), Norway
(15%), New Zealand (14%) and Finland (11%)
• GSMA Intelligence forecasts 250m M2M connections in 2014

Everyday objects and the IoT
On the horizon – Intelligent Things
• Machine learning and automation will result in more intelligent
capabilities - creating a new level of Augmented Intelligence (AI)
• Together with AI, Augmented Reality (AR) has become one of the hottest
tech topics at present
• AI/AR integration moves the IoT from the mechanics of interconnected
devices to active engagement with real world scenarios by contributing to
our understanding of what we see, feel, hear or think
• Thus the Internet of Intelligent Things represents another stage on the
journey (destination unknown)
On the horizon – Internet of Everything
Internet of Everything –
Harnessing Network Effects
Security
• As with all new technology applications consumers value their security
and privacy very highly
• Increased volume, variety and velocity of data transmission from multiple
devices, objects and environments will certainly create new challenges
• Whilst hacking is a clear danger to consumers’ data and privacy today, the
IoT will have to overcome these issues quickly to achieve success
• With the right prioritisation and investment greater security can be
achieved, for instance, via micro-firewalls for individual devices and
appliances
Privacy
• Widespread adoption of smart devices means that more data is being
collected on more people than ever before, and any breaches in security
will have a knock-on effect on privacy
• As a result of the NSA/GCHQ revelations, consumers are more aware of
and concerned about big data and privacy
• Without a clear demarcation between an individual’s ability to remotely
monitor various aspects of everyday life, and the ability of other agents to
do the same (without further consent) opens up concerns of a domestic
panopticon
• As the Snowden revelations have shown, there is no such line between the
commercial and the political in terms of data mining, with the two
conflated in consumers’ eyes today
Future Possibilities
• Soon we will be living in a world of ubiquitous computing
• IoT has the potential to transform activities such as manufacturing,
building infrastructure, providing health care, and managing supply chains
• automated closed-loop systems that can carry out tasks independently
based on incoming data and which can be used to manage systems such
as smart electric grids are likely to be adopted more widely
• Whilst most believe the results of the IoT will be possible, it also poses the
potential of new technologies to imprison humanity and ... Into a world of
panopticon and mass surveillance
