What is the IoT The Internet of Things, or IoT, is emerging as the next technology mega-trend, with repercussions across the business spectrum. By connecting to the Internet billions of everyday devices ranging from fitness bracelets to industrial equipment. The IoT merges the physical and online worlds, opening up a host of new opportunities and challenges for companies, governments and consumers. A market opportunity consisting of billions of smart /connected devices coming online across multiple industry sectors. 3
IoT encompasses The ability to gather any type of sensor-based data from everywhere in the environment... in unimagined quantity & quality, the ability to transmit that data over networks real-time.. for immediate analysis.. to create actionable results.. and enable more accurate analyses and forecasting 4
Where does IoT fit? Technology Trends 2014 2015 5
Drivers of IoT the last 10 years has seen Better, faster, cheaper technology Cost of bandwidth has decreased 40 times Cost of processing has decreased by a factor of 60 Cost of sensors has gone from $1.30 to 60 cents, and they are everywhere Ubiquitous communications and devices Smartphones have become pervasive Wifi coverage is now ubiquitous and low cost The software and the internet are much better IPV6 the newest internet protocol allows almost limitless connections The availability of BIG DATA analytics Consumer demand and new business models driving rapid change 6

Howard & Company view The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most important areas of a Future Internet with high potential to open up new opportunities and challenges for companies, governments and consumers. (Watch closely.) We think that companies ability to adapt and thrive in this new era of the IoT is very likely to determine who the next set of winners and losers will be in this new connected age. (Seek opportunities.) When we look back in 5 years time, we will see massive change has occurred. (IoT is now.) Big Data, data warehousing and analytics. (Hot areas.) 10
