1) What is the Internet of Things?  The Internet of Things (IoT) is the Interconnectivity of the world around us  The IoT is defined by the transformative convergence of technologies  The IoT enables organisation to do what they already do but better than before  Efficiency and effectiveness are the operative words for the IoT  The IoT touches every aspect of digital services and products, from:  Regulation to service provision,  Components to networks,

 Hardware to software,  And from consumer to enterprise markets

 Responsibility (and ability) to cover the IoT sits across all of Ovum‟s topic teams  The IoT is not something to be considered in isolation as a standalone topic © Copyright Ovum 2015. All rights reserved.

2) IoT market participant types

 Infrastructure Manufacturers – Am I hidden behind the scenes?  Component Manufacturers – How many end points can I be in?  Platform Vendors – Can I sell to enterprises or do I enable others?  Middleware/Analytics Vendors – What is the opportunity for me?  Connectivity Providers – Can I go beyond connectivity?  Service Providers – What is an „IoT service provider‟?!  Device Manufacturers – can I develop a service-based model? © Copyright Ovum 2015.

2) The IoT value chain ”role-map”

2) The big IoT question

 Where do YOU sit in the IoT value chain? This is one of the most pressing questions affecting every company involved in the establishment of today‟s telecommunications and ICT service infrastructure. All believe that they have a pivotal role to play in the Internet of Things, but most do not accurately know what that role will be, nor do they have any realistic estimation of the size of the opportunity for them. Companies are actively seeking information to confirm their:

3) IoT market opportunity: the M2M „core‟  50 billion connections by 2020?  Perhaps, but NOT using cellular alone…

“If you‟re in the internet of things arena, you probably have some sort of gizmo to sell. Good for you. But the real revenue model lies, not surprisingly, in associated ongoing services, not the “thing” itself… fitness trackers, home sensors [etc.] are trojan horses to get customers interested...” - Jahangir Mohammed, CEO of Jasper

5) Vertical drill-down: Smart home  The IoT is defined by core competencies and partnerships  Value chain participants can benefit from their different attributes  The main smart home opportunities in the short to medium term:

6) Vertical drill-down: the „Industrial Internet‟  The „hidden‟ world of the Industrial Internet is where most value will lay…  Efficiency and effectiveness improves enterprise margins and profits  Wireless carrier M2M & IoT contracts by application vertical:

Three things you need to know about the IoT Gary Barnett, Chief Analyst, Software, Ovum

13

In a nutshell…  Three things you need to know about the Internet of Things  There is a lot of nonsense being touted  Yes it‟s going to be big  IoT is really, really, hard

 Three things to consider  Privacy and regulation  Putting the data that comes from IoT to work  The complexities associated with building IoT networks

© Copyright Ovum 2015. All rights reserved.

14

There is a lot of nonsense being touted

There will be One Trillion IoT Devices by 2020

IoT is easy

© Copyright Ovum 2015. All rights reserved.

The IoT will result in an EXPLOSION of data

IoT will change your sector overnight

Think it through

16

Yes, it is going to be big  30-50 billion “things” by 2020?  Feels about right  It very much depends on how you count “things”  But the vast majority of these things will be very simple sensors

 Very few IoT networks will contain more than a few hundred devices  Most IoT networks will be very localised  Big network scenarios..  Smart Metering

 Healthcare  Automotive  Smart Cities © Copyright Ovum 2015. All rights reserved.

Not every IoT device needs to be a supercomputer….

• 8 bytes of memory • 20p • 512 bytes of ram • 1MHz • £2.00 • 32 Kbytes of ram • 96MHz • £40 • 2 Gbytes of ram • 2.32 GHz • £100 © Copyright Ovum 2015. All rights reserved.

18

Yes, it is going to be big  Yes, the IoT will produce a lot of data  But it will won‟t be an “avalanche”

 Expect a steady growth  IoT networks take time to bring on line  And a lot of the data will be worthless  Either because it is gibberish  Or because it only has a very narrow context  Some IoT networks will require very innovative data management  But most will have relatively modest requirements

 Security is a serious, but solvable, issue  Data privacy and integrity are hugely important  But the required technologies and patterns exist today © Copyright Ovum 2015. All rights reserved.

19

Yes, it is going to be big

 Yes, the IoT will produce a lot of data Data Volumes for AirSensa Network in London 8438

IoT is really, really hard!

 IoT Hardware is complex to design  Power requirements  Certification

 IoT Software is complex to write  For the device  For the server

By far and away the hardest thing….

26

Three things to consider….

© Copyright Ovum 2014. All rights reserved.

27

Privacy and regulation  How much should electricity companies know about my habits?  What a third party infer about your lifestyle from your electricity consumption?  What can an electricity company meaningfully do with my data?  Who owns my biometric data?

 Can my “fitness app” vendor sell data to pharma/healthcare co‟s?  Public access to government-collected data?  OpenData?

 Planning regulations  The visual pollution caused by IoT device proliferation

© Copyright Ovum 2015. All rights reserved.

28

Putting IoT Data to work  Steady growth in new sources of IoT Data  Data in one context has a certain value  But the value is multiplied when correlated with other sources

 New approaches to data analysis and aggregation will need to be developed  Where in the network should the data be analysed?  How will we integrate IoT data with other sources (other IoT networks, Systems of Record)  How will we know what data to throw away?

© Copyright Ovum 2015. All rights reserved.

29

The complexities associated with building IoT networks

 Integration with existing infrastructure  In domains like manufacturing, healthcare, retail and logistics this is will be a major undertaking

 Complex technology ecosystem  Who is going to make all the money?  Some significant gaps in the stack
