IoT Platform – Binding the IoT Ecosystem TogetherCategory: Software, Business, Security, Data, automation
by Device and sensor manufacturers think of it as the sensors at the center of the IoT ecosystem with some connectivity and software around the sensors to capture and transmit data.
The best way that I can explain IoT is as an ecosystem, that is a combination of the right kinds of sensors strategically placed, securely connected to a number of different things and transmitting the desired information to a technology that uses this information to make intelligent, value-add decisions leading to well-defined actions. This notion of an ecosystem is very well explained by a visual that I saw in the IoT Reference Model that was published by Cisco in 2014.
If we have an IoT Platform that addresses the above key issues or provides these features, and does it in a way that is secure, scalable and easy to implement then we hit a home run.
