The Digital Explosion 2 2020 >44 Zettabytes 50 Billion x10 x5 2013 <4 Zettabytes 13 Billion Yearly Data creation Devices A Zettabyte = 10 12 Gigabytes
By 2020 the Internet traffic will shift dramatically! 3 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 2020. The internet traffic will get 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.

Fostering the IoT s ecosystem 19 How can semiconductors assist in developing standards? Doing industry alliances Best practices in Internet of Things privacy, security, and authentication Establish interoperability standards for devices Bringing complete IoT platform Create platforms for IoT including: hardware, software, tools for application development and integration, big data and service on the cloud.
Barriers to IoT s Adoption 20 Security concerns Regulation and compliance Standards Ease of use Ability to remotely manipulate physical assets Privacy violations & safety issues Security concerns escalate up! IoT implementations mandated by the governments Examples: ecall connected car in Europe Rail safety act in the US Smart grid mandates around the world Lack of standards Business is hesitant to invest in connecting assets Some of the early success stories in IoT have benefited from their ease of use e.g.: NEST by Google
Removing the Barriers Vertical integration Focus on few big funded pilot projects for vertical applications, such as healthcare, smart home, smart cities, industry 4.0 Could be good to consider Private-Public- Partnership (PPP) as done for the 5G or FI Standardization Need to move fast! Can help to protect some markets. US approach is to do a pilot first then an industry consortium makes the standard. Ecosystem Gathering the full chain: semiconductor companies, OEM, security provider, service provider, end to end integrator Should allow partnerships outside EU when it makes sense. Regulation EU shall play a big role as an enabler or a show stopper! Especially for Healthcare, Smart home and grid
Lowering the entry gap to access high tech! Startup and SME 22 EPoSS ST is among the founding fathers since 2005 ECSEL JU ST is part of the ECSEL JU Governing Board since the very start, on may 2014 AIOTI ST is member of Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI)
The IoT has the potential to connect tens of billions of objects to internet generating demand for sensors, microcontrollers, data connectivity and energy management. Conclusions 23 ST has all the ingredients for the IoT and is winning today in the first high volume markets that have emerged. In 10 years the internet technology will become invisible; completely integrated into our everyday lives in a way that is much less intrusive and with a truly human interface.
