1. Infrastructure for IoT PRESENTED BY YEN CHOI HACKADAY HARDWARE LAGOS FEB 18, 2017
2. WHO IS YEN Co-Founder, Group CTO, Netcom Africa – Regional Internet and Managed Service Provider Board Member & Chair of Technical Committee Nigerian Internet Exchange Point Board Member, Fibersat.com – High Throughput Communications Satellite over Africa Advisor to ◦ Ignitia.se – Hyper Accurate Weather for Agrictulture and O&G ◦ Spacefab.us – Exponential Space Manufacturing and astronomy telescope ◦ coolpeds.us – electric personal mobility products Principal, 100groundnut.com – Business incubator and Angel Investor
3. What is IOT We already have cameras, cars, fuel tanks, homes and other things connected to the Internet These devices automate systems for us, allow us to communicate easier and collect data for us IOT is already HERE “Information is a great way to reduce waste and increase efficiency, and that’s what the Internet of Things provides” Keving Ashton – “Father of the IOT”
4. Example
5. Smart Home
6. IOT Characteristics Ambient Intelligence Flexible Structure Semantic Sharing Complex Access Technologies Event Driven
7. M2m vs iot
8. Enabling Technologies IPv6 Smart Phones Wireless Coverage Cheap Processing Power Cheap Bandwidth Cheap Sensors Big Data
9. Explosion of IOT has not even started The number of connected devices are about to explode We have just crossed the line where there are more connected devices than people 8 11 15 18 22 28 35 42 50 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Billions of IOT Connections (Source: Cisco) Cisco Predicts the market size will be $19 Trillion by 2025
10. Africa is far behind = opportunities Africa = Nigeria + South Africa + Kenya + Rest of Africa 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% Asia Europe North America Latin America Africa Oceana Percentage of M2M Connections Source: GSMA
11. Market Sectors 1. Healthcare 2. Utilities 3. Retail 4. Logistics 5. Transportation 6. Manufacturing 7. Security 8. Education 9. Entertainment
12. IOT HARDWARE Raspberry Pi Zero $5 - $10 Arduino Pro Mini $9 Wifi ESP8266 $5
13. Free IOT Sensors and Gateways? Crowdsensing – using smartphones Sensors ◦ Camera – Eyes ◦ Audio – Ears ◦ Accelerometers – Speed ◦ GPS – Location ◦ Gyroscope – Movement ◦ Compass – Direction ◦ Proximity – Closeness ◦ Ambient Light – “Eyes” ◦ And more…
14. 4 Stages of IOT Maturity Monitoring Control Analytics Making use of Data Autonomous Decision Making
15. IoT Infrastructure – 5 Pillars Platforms Access Technologies Data Storage and Processing Data Analytics Security
16. IOT Infrastructure 1/5 Platforms The gap between the device sensors and data networks is filled by an IoT Platform. IoT Platform connects the data network to the sensor arrangement and provides insights using backend applications to make sense of plethora of data generated by hundreds of sensors. Suite of components that enable developers to deploy apps FAST
21. IOT Infrastructure 2/5 Mobile networks/access technologies Mobile operators provide access via 3G/ LTE and sometimes 2G ◦ MTN, Glo, Etisalat, Airtel Gateways can communicate to end devices via Zigbee, Wifi, Bluetooth ◦ Specific profile of power usage, bandwidth, range •Wifi •2G/3G/LTE •Bluetooth •Zigbee Device •ISP Fiber / DSL •3G/4G/LTE •Satellite Gateway IOT Backend
22. Access technologies comparison Not a one solution fits all Need to pick the right one for the right application Device Cost Throughput WIFI 3G/4G/ LTE Globalstat / Iridium Broadband VSAT GSM/SMS Usage Cost / MB WIFI 3G/4G/ LTE Globalstat / Iridium Broadband VSAT GSM/SMS
23. IOT Infrastructure 3/5 Cloud solutions / storage & processing Data streams from multiple devices need to stored securely to be accessed and operated on
24. IOT Infrastructure 4/5 Analytics Big Data is more than just data storage. Requires high performance analytics! Speed! Analytics is the single-one enabler of the VALUE of IOT E.g. Big guys: IBM, Oracle, SAP Pure play: Splunk, 1010data, Actian, Cloudera
25. Data is wisdom Wisdom Understanding Knowledge Information Data More Important Less Important Evaluated Understanding Answers to HOW? Answers to WHO WHAT WHERE WHEN? Symbols and numbers Answers to WHY?
26. IOT Infrastructure 5/5 Security Bad Security = Bad credibility of the product, solution, even the industry. Data Privacy misuse? IOT Hardware – Secure the devices, provisioning and connections IOT Solutions developer – Many times made up of many components and vendors. Secure the integration of components IOT Solution deployer – Once developed, it needs to be deployed IOT Solution operator – Monitoring, Upgrades, maintenance.
27. IOT Security Example Example: DDOS from IP Cameras (Sep 2016) ◦ 620Gbps attack, with 1100 Gbps, then by a 901 Gbps attack (biggest one detected before by Akamai was 300 Gbps) ◦ Factory default usernames and passwords ◦ SSH and Telnet to gain Root ◦ Lesson learned: Security starts from the developer & manufacturer
28. What have you learned? 1. Don’t start from scratch 2. Don’t buy single server 3. These platforms have almost all the pieces to prototype an IoT solution in a matter of days, even hours!
29. Challenges in Nigeria 1. 2G Networks still used – be careful 2. Power Supply – PV trends 3. Backhaul – Coverage 4. Transition to IPv6
30. What Next? Play with various IOT Platforms Get or build a device Start simple! Play with IFTTT Find a BIG Problem Solve a BIG Problem Prototype and Deploy!
31. Yen’s IOT Predictions ◦ Connected devices will become the norm, unconnected devices are “useless” ◦ Devices will learn and listen and will make their own decisions ◦ Devices will predict what they should be doing ◦ Devices will gather a global collective intelligence and become faster and better at humans ◦ Devices will integrate with and into humans ◦ A connected human or a human like IoT device?
