Entrepreneurs and investors interested in building new ventures will gain a deeper understanding of the IoT technology landscape, enabling them to effectively leverage it in their projects.
The market value estimates for Internet of Things (IoT) are substantial, as by definition, IoT is an integrated and pervasive layer of devices, sensors, and computing power that spans consumer, business-to-business, and government industries. By 2018, the number of IoT connections is projected to reach 9 billion, roughly equivalent to the combined total of smartphones, smart TVs, tablets, wearable computers, and PCs.
In the consumer market, numerous products and services have already integrated with the IoT, including kitchen and home appliances, parking systems, RFID, lighting and heating solutions, and various applications in the Industrial Internet.
While the underlying technologies of IoT are not new—machine-to-machine (M2M) communication has existed since the inception of the internet—the recent emergence of inexpensive wireless technologies and the widespread adoption of smartphones and tablets have driven the explosive growth of mobile devices, leading to the current demand for IoT solutions.
The vast opportunities in the IoT business have attracted a large number of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs. The availability of open-source electronics and IoT platforms has made it increasingly affordable to develop and manage IoT systems on a significant scale. Existing electronic product manufacturers are under pressure to integrate their devices with the internet or mobile apps.
This training program aims to provide a technology and business review of this emerging industry, helping IoT enthusiasts and entrepreneurs grasp the basics of IoT technology and its business potential.
