2. What is IoT? first proposed by Kevin Ashton in 1999
The Internet of Things connects every day consumer objects and industrial equipment onto the network, enabling information gathering and management of these devices via software in order to increase efficiency, enable new services, or achieve other health, safety, or environmental benefits.
Kevin Ashton, a British technologist in 1999 was Executive Director at MIT’s Auto-ID Center, an RFID research consortium

IoT: The term was first proposed by Kevin Ashton in 1999, when he was Executive Director at MIT’s Auto-ID Center, an RFID research consortium.

3. The Internet Waves
The 1990s: fixed Internet connected 1 billion users via PCs
The 2000s: mobile Internet connected 3 billion users via smartphones (on its way to 6 billion),
IoT is emerging as a third bigger Internet wave
IoT is expected to connect 50 billion “things” to the Internet by 2020! [1 min]
The IoT is also gaining momentum through the cloud and by 2020 there will be nearly as many machine-to-machine (M2M) connections as there are people on earth.
E.g. Smart cars will have nearly four M2M modules per car.
7.5 Billion world population on 2020

4. By 2020 the Internet traffic will shift dramatically!
Most of the IP traffic will originate from other than personal computers (PCs). Wi-Fi traffic will exceed wired traffic and Full HD video will generate more traffic than standard video.
According to a recent report issued by Cisco, the number of connected devices (i.e. through IPv6 and evolution) will grow to some 50 billion devices by The internet traffic will be close to 44 Zettabytes (i.e. 10^21 bytes)!
In the Football World Cup in Brazil (june 2014), the Video streaming and internet broadcasting have generated 4.3 exabytes (i.e. 10^18 bytes) of IP traffic, which is 3X the monthly IP traffic typically generated by Brazil.
1 ZB = 10007bytes = 1021bytes = 1000 exabytes = 1 billion terabytes.

6. Barriers to IoT’s adoption
Security concerns – Security concerns escalate to a whole new level, given the potential for privacy violations or safety issues due to the ability to remotely manipulate physical assets
Regulation and compliance – as many IoT implementations are being mandated by the governments, such as the eCall connected car requirement in Europe, the rail safety act in the US, or smart grid mandates around the world
Standards –business is hesitant to invest in connecting assets that may become “stranded” if the communications standards will change. For example, smart gas meters, although technologically easy, are very critical and expensive to deploy, as they go in volumes
Ease of use – Some of the early success stories in IoT have benefited from their ease of use, such as the Nest thermostat (acquired by Google). eHealth is much more complicated!

8. The IP for Smart Objects Toolbox8
6lo: IPv6 over Networks of Resource-constrained Nodes (6lo)
The IP for Smart Objects Toolbox
Over the past few years, industry developed the standards enabling IP based applications on smart objects:
6LoWPAN – An adaptation layer to transport IPv6 over low power wireless communication links (RFC 6282 for ), support for other links (e.g. DECT ULE, BTLE) is under development at the IETF
RPL – An IPv6 routing protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (standardized as RFC 6550 (and related), Adopted by SEP 2.0, WAVENIS, P1901.2)
Security – Proven protocols, available at multiple layers above IP, enabling end-to-end security, e.g. TLS and DTLS
CoAP – An application layer protocol for resource-constrained internet devices: new protocol, RESTful, designed for simplified integration of smart objects with the web  Final draft submitted for publication

9. Why IoT should be different from pervasive computing or similar stuff??
Today major companies have come out with real products that enable aspects of autonomous decision and interface/sensoring the environment.
Additionally, the enabling semiconductors including sensors, microcontrollers and communications chips (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, ZigBee) have seen ultra low-power capability and steep price declines that now make connected end points affordable at price less than $100.
Android is in!

10. ST fosters innovation on IoT
SPIRIT: As we drove MEMS adoption by the mobile phone market five years ago, ST is unique in its having all the sensor technologies, together with the extremely low-power SPIRIT1 RF wireless radio for home, office and industrial use, and our Bluetooth Low Energy radio for wearable applications,  to drive the IoT market development and create the next MEMS wave.”
Designs application around the STM32 family of ARM® Cortex®-M microcontroller is full of opportunities. We invite Researchers all over the world to use their imagination and their love of innovation to create the next big thing for the IoT. The STM32 Design Challenge is open to everybody: Registration and submission of projects  on ST Facebook where  you can get your free STM32 Nucleo board  (compliant with Arduino) and the Android based tool kit.

Now it tells you what to do
Now it talks to your machines and tells you how much they are consuming
It used to just provide power
Everyday examples of the connected world making things smarter changing what they do and what you do.
Just the beginning of the revolution that will change ordinary things into extraordinary things….
It used to remind you of someone close to your heart
Now it reminds you to take care of your heart

Mobile devices have been the first big expansion of connected objects and ST is significantly present there today-that’s where we can leverage.
Hyper-connectivity is a reality its just going to increase rapidly.
The key functional requirements for the IOT are sensing, embedded computing, connecting and converting or translating. For mobile connected things power management and low power environment are essential.
Changing all those millions of everyday products into smarter products with more sensors and embedded intelligence.

Smart Car
While the smart phone itself has become the most prolific IOT device, it along with rapid expansion of mainly wireless internet services is creating a whole new wave of applications and products.
Wearables with their close proximity and with many dependent on the smart phone are expanding rapidly.
The smart home and access to wireless hubs and extenders are another high growth area where ST has already many products – Reference JM. Home-gateways provide an access point to create new business service models and connect to new devices – Security, Energy management, Smart Appliances.
The smart CAR is ready to feed of the internet infrastructure for infotainment, security, power management and safety – Reference MM – Go look at a Tesla.
Smart City The pressure to make living and working in the city more bearable as we migrate in larger numbers. Creates the opportunity to sense and collect important data and help city managers control traffic, security, pollution and energy - making cities much smarter.
Wearable

15. Wearables – the First Wave of the IoT
Why do wearable devices take off?
They address real needs
Build upon the cellular infrastructure of the smartphone – providing local and Internet connectivity as well as the screen and interface capabilities
Based on a existing connectivity standards
lower entry barrier than most consumers
High volume of tiny components allows to drop cost and size
Finally after more than 20 years of waiting wrapping computers around us, this turned it real.
Fitness has been a major driver – deal with Nike versus Fitbit – A perennial market not only a FAD.
While the overall market grows at mid single digit. IOT applications/product are growing significantly faster take the case of Fitness devices, wearables where we estimate we have more than 30% share. We have more than doubled our revenues 13’ to 14’ and expect to grow at more than 40% over the next year. This has been a major driver of our success with the STM32 family…
