The Internet of Things: Opportunities & Challenges
What is the IoT? Things, people and cloud services getting connected via the Internet to enable new use cases and business models Cloud Services How is IoT different than M2M? M2M focused on connecting machines mainly proprietary closed systems IoT is about harmonizing the way humans and machines connect using common public services Things People 2
What is driving the IoT? Users Streamline experiences Increase convenience Better lifestyle Reduce expenses Businesses Sell more products Sell new services Reduce expenses With lower barriers 3
Why now? More products are adding intelligence with MCUs to support more sophisticated control Adding connectivity is getting easier & cheaper Low-power semiconductors allow for more battery-powered applications Wi-Fi and internet access broadly available Tablets, PCs and Smartphones broadly available can be leveraged as a gateway Connectivity brings control, sensing & ability to update system software over the internet We are at the IoT inflection point 4
TI s IoT strategy Large and diverse set of applications/customers Breadth of products and standard product approach Programmable platforms allowing customer differentiation Ease of use to enable broad adoption and engagement scale Large salesforce and distribution channels Strong university and online presence 5
