Edge Computing is Critical for IoT

In my last article, I was talking about the 'Digital Metamorphosis.' For this transformation to happen, it will have to begin with how fast is the turnaround either by providing a solution or solving any given problem in our day-to-day life. Now let us understand What is Edge Computing? How will this bring forth the 'Digital Disruption.' According to the Wikipedia "Edge Computing is a method of optimising cloud computing systems by performing data processing at the edge of the network, near the source of the data.". With the technology evolution, there is also a growing demand to analyse data fast at the edge network. The big IT giants are already innovating in this space to address the approaches and [...]

Digital Metamorphosis

After a long pause, here I am back on my journey to take on the new wave of 'Digitial Revolution.' During these past many months the one word called 'Digital Transformation' has become the mission & vision of every organization, business, technology, and industry. Let us try to understand what is this 'Digital Transformation' - In a layman's term is a conceptualization of "going paperless," which impacts both the individual businesses and the entire segments of the society in whole such as individuals, government, technology, art, science, mass communication, etc. This digital evolution of going paperless is driven by Internet of Things (IoT) whose primary objective is to transform the way how daily life functions by enabling to build Smart [...]

IoT Impasse

IoT Impasse have to be surpassed by the addressing the challenges that comes along the transformation. My last article created so much of a hullabaloo across the board and I was really overwhelmed by the response. Companies which felt the pinch of my pitch wrote directly to me saying how much they regret burning their fingers. If only they could have put in a lot more effort in knowing what the customer wanted, they could have saved a lot of money, and possibly made a lot more. I have never professed to be a technical or technology expert but instead, a good marketer and marketing expert in a specialised field of IOT, Smart Cities, etc. Marketing has more to do [...]

The Impact of 5G on the Global Industries

5G is the next technological revolution which the world is going to witness with the impact it will have on the economy, industries and you. The industry is in the next stage of the 5G technological revolution, building a ubiquitous wireless network that will integrate the data collection and computation with billions of devices. This data analytics will provide us with unprecedented insights and abilities that will determine what we do and how we do it. 5G isn't just a network, but it is a technological paradigm shift, akin to the change of typewriter to the computer. 5G will soon be the underlying fabric of an entire ecosystem of fully connected intelligent sensors and devices. 5G is capable of overhauling [...]

Mainframe Foolishness

Anybody who is a somebody in IoT believes that they have the ultimate solution for solving world problems. However, when you look at the scenario today, companies are confused and simply unable to sustain their viral growth. Major league companies have bought smaller IoT players in the last few years and are now shelving their plans or are shutting these down completely. Most companies are unable to sustain their product lines due to non-integration or due to a complete mismatch in the portfolio. These behemoths are letting go of their acquisitions. A few decades ago, the IT industry came up with a fantastic innovation called the ‘Mainframe’ but couldn't sustain it, since the market wasn't mature enough. The need of [...]

Fred Flintstone’s IoT Car

In order to drive the Flintstones car, we need to fit in a steering wheel, an engine, brakes, and various other integral components to get the car drivable. Today our IoT Infrastructure is like exactly that. The end consumer has a Thing or a Device and to make that into an IoT connected device he needs to have an Internet connection, a Wifi, Integrated Hub, Sensors, Cloud, etc. To further explain this here is an example - Why should a customer invest into diverse components for making his simple $20 bulb ‘Thing’ work through automation? Which defies logic. This unnecessary investment into diverse components just to get his $20 bulb to come on through another device makes no practical sense [...]

IoT Security Faux Pas

Last week the Mirai Botnet attack on the DYN spawned thousands of articles which exposed the venerability of millions of connected devices. The Internet of Things has never faced this big a challenge before. The answer lies in isolating the wifi network, changing passwords very frequently, dynamic IP addresses, creating a private VPN network, etc. are few of the instant solutions that could be offered. The morale of the customer had already been very low and with the recent attack has reached the pits. For the industry to stave off any further attacks of crashing the entire IoT industry, the industry leaders need to come together to create this first cohesive IoT Protocol Standardisation which I had mentioned in my [...]

Advancements in 5G

The Advancements of an Upcoming Technology - "5G." The International Telecommunications Union or ITU the Geneva-based a United Nations body that governs issues concerning information and telecommunication technologies has said:  2020 will be the target year for completing the international standardisation of 5G technologies. It will pave the way for its mass adoption of next-generation 5G services promised to deliver not just faster phones and video but also connected cars and Internet-connected industrial senses over the next decade. 5G offers massive potential for both industry and the consumers with the prospect of being considerably faster than any of the existing technologies. 5G holds the promise of application with the socio-economic value, leading to a "hyper-connected society" in which smartphones will [...]

Common Sense to IoT

Even though the IoT Platform is providing ease and efficiency in our day to day usage of ‘Things’ but for it to transform itself into a viable solution may take another 10+ years. A simple example here is, CFL bulbs have been replaced by the LED bulbs. But the moment it became a connected IoT device it became highly unviable. Now that it has become a connected device, it needs a hub, a communicating media, a powered device, a security infrastructure, etc.… Why would a consumer want to switch over his simple bulb to a high-end smart solution? When the simple solution is to power on the device using simple switch! Since all the IoT devices have to be connected [...]
