<\/div>\nBefore tackling the problem of IoT connectivity, it\u2019s important to understand the mass IoT market: what does it compose of? Will the IoT market largely be made of industrial or consumer connections, or both?\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tToday, it\u2019s certainly true that industrial connections compose the majority of the IoT market: industrial IoT. Manufacturers are lining there factory floors with internet connected devices that can help deliver real-time information on individual machines and the collective. Mainly, this is to improve the product lifecycle management (PLM) of the equipment and reduce dreaded downtime. But, it\u2019s not just on the factory floor where the IoT market will infiltrate.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cIoT could improve the quality of people\u2019s everyday life, particularly in those domains where the future of human beings looks more challenging,\u201d confirms\u00a0Marina Ruggieri<\/a>, IEEE Fellow and professor of telecommunications engineering at the University of Roma. \u201cIoT could, then, become a great opportunity to align mass market with the best interest of a sustainable future.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIndustrial IoT applications, while prevalent in manufacturing, could extend to agriculture as a critical component in the creation of smart agrifood and precision farming \u2014 necessary for sustainable future. Even further, \u201cother\u00a0IoT domains that could effectively concur to a future-friendly mass market are home automation, smart building, healthcare and environmental monitoring,\u201d says Ruggieri.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Enabling mass connectivity<\/h2><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor this sustainable future, led by the IoT, to take root, mass connectivity must be enabled.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRuggieri explains: \u201cThe major challenges that network designers and developers will be experiencing in the near\/medium term could also become very effective enablers for the IoT mass connectivity. The most fascinating innovation deals with the software-driven (Software Defined Networking, SDN) transformation of the integrated network composed not only by the terrestrial segments, where progress on the SDN approach is more and more tangible, but also by aerial and space components.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cAnother enabler in the medium term,\u201d she says, \u201cwould be a suitable role of robots in the network functions and the cooperative environment that humans and robots are going to establish therein. It sounds like science fiction, but that future is much closer than we expect\u2026\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What organisations are providing mass IoT connectivity?<\/h2><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat organisations are the providers of mass IoT connectivity? Is it systems integrators, IoT specialists, communications service providers, telecoms operators, IT vendors or others?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cAny successful and sustainable deployment of IoT connectivity (and of the related future-friendly applications) is a complex matter that first of all implies a huge system challenge at both technical and management level,\u201d suggests Ruggieri.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn that vein, she advises that \u201cthe most suitable identikit of an ideal provider for the mass IoT connectivity arena would be a hybrid organisation between an extremely capable system integrator and a quite visionary telecommunication operator. Therefore, a cooperation effort among the various players in the connectivity arena would probably be the best approach to create virtually a \u201chybrid provider\u201d suitable to all the IoT connectivity challenges, including the ones related to sustainability.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
