1. Internet of Things: How to Know the Future? DSA 18th Nov 2013 Dr. John Ure Director, TRPC Pte Ltd (Singapore) Associate Professor and Director Technology Research Project (TRP) University of Hong Kong Executive Director Asia Internet Coalition

2. “Internet” and “Things” Internetfuture“Internet” = the future of communications  Increase in capacity and speeds known  Speed of light = fastest known speed  Visible light communications  Developments in chip sets and electronics =  biochemical communications; quantum mechanics and computers, etc.

7. The Delivery Challenge How to deliver so much data?  Bandwidth availability + digital compression, spectrum sharing, backhaul off-loading, network management of targeted delivery, etc.  Flexibility in the management of spectrum:  From TVWS to 5G mobile, etc.;  Unlicensed, shared and licensed spectrum;
