1 Introducing The Internet of Things Technology Today #3

2 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. 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. 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. Source: GSMA: M2M Today Feb 2014

3 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 of almost 40%) and forecasts a total of 250m M2M connections by the end of M2M connection forecasts range from 30bn(ABI) to 50bn (GSMA) or 75bn (Morgan Stanley)

5 Technology Roadmap: Internet of Things

6 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 Q GSMA Intelligence estimates that developing economies took a 52% share of global M2M Connections 10 countries, including the UK, 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 Source: GMSA M2M Today Feb 2014.,

8 Everyday objects and the IoT

9 On the horizon Intelligent Things Machine learning and automation will result in more intelligent capabilities - creating a new level of Augmented Intelligence (AI) Capabilities that may be realised through intelligent 3D printing solutions 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)

10 On the horizon Internet of Everything Internet of Everything Harnessing Network Effects

11 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

12 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 monitor aspects of everyday life, and the ability of other agents to do the same (without further consent) opens up significant ad legitimate concerns 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

13 Future Possibilities We will soon be living in a world of ubiquitous and invisible computing generating vast volumes of environmental and contextual data for analysis IoT has the potential to transform business and consumer activities and processes including manufacturing and distribution, infrastructure, smart cities, automotive, health care and education, and supply chain logistics Automated (intelligent) systems that carry out tasks independently based on incoming data and which can be used to manage systems such as smart electric grids will be adopted more widely Whilst most believe the potential of the IoT will be realizable, it also poses new challenges to human freedom, not least in terms of mass surveillance or the birth of a data fuelled panopticon.
