Internet of Things technology is a cutting-edge technology in the field of computer science, and its emergence will set off a new technological revolution. The purpose of the Internet of Things is to realize the interconnection of all things to identify, manage and control.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming more and more closely connected with people’s daily necessities, and has been widely used in daily living, travel, industrial and military scenarios such as smart speakers and smart cars. Most large enterprises have already integrated IoT into their core systems and projects to drive digital business, and within five years, IoT will be at the core of millions of business processes. What changes will the IoT industry see in 2019?
Edge computing and fog computing will change the way IoT is applied
IoT edge computing applications will increase rapidly, edge computing will trigger the “edge revolution” of IoT, and IoT applications based on voice services and combined with blockchain technology will increase significantly.
The emergence of edge computing is definitely due to the availability and widespread adoption of cloud computing, as well as the increasingly accessible and affordable IoT solutions. There are many easily customizable and accessible SoCs, such as the Raspberry Pi, that make edge computing more feasible. Some analysts predict that edge computing will become an industry worth US$6.72 billion by 2022, with an annual growth rate of 35.4%.
Fog computing and edge computing are vaguely defined, and the industry has been trying to separate the two as separate concepts. The most widely accepted concept in the industry is that in edge computing, data is processed on the hardware that collects the data. Fog computing is when a subset of nodes sends their data to a larger central connection point, where the data is processed in the process of being connected to the larger overall central network. Whether it is edge computing or fog computing, its advantages are obvious. Fog computing eliminates some of the latency and bandwidth issues of sending large streams of raw data to a central network, but it doesn’t require each set of sensors to process the collected data.
5G is coming
The data generated using IoT will force data to the edge, and it will also force mobile network operators to move toward 5G at an unprecedented pace. The hyper-connectivity levels users expect today leave little room to move forward on 5G, but one shouldn’t get too excited. The migration to 5G won’t happen overnight, and over the next year, that may not happen. Stablize.
smart home
In 2019, smart home life is no longer about passive data reception, but about active control and interaction, through radio frequency identification, infrared sensors, GPS (global positioning system), GIS (geographic information system), audio and video, technology It can connect any item to the Internet for information exchange and communication according to the agreed protocol to achieve intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, monitoring and linked alarm management, transforming previously abstract concepts into practical applications. Thereby promoting the development of smart home to a higher level.
Internet of Vehicles
In 2019, a rapidly changing area is automotive, especially fleet management. The connected car industry is a growing area in China and is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. IoT usage among trucking, car rental and other companies will grow exponentially. At the same time, the use of cellular technology will grow at an astonishing rate.
Internet industriel des objets
Another concept we will see in 2019 is the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which is part of the larger concept of the Internet of Things (IoT). The application of IoT in manufacturing is called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or Industry 4.0. IIoT is revolutionizing manufacturing by acquiring and accessing larger amounts of data faster and more efficiently. Many innovative companies have begun implementing IIoT by leveraging smart connected devices in their factories.
IIoT can greatly improve industrial organizations’ connectivity, efficiency, scalability, and save time and costs. Companies are already benefiting from IIoT through cost savings due to predictive maintenance, improved safety and other operational efficiencies. IIoT smart device networks enable industrial organizations to break down data silos and connect all people, data and processes from the factory floor to the executive office. Business leaders can use IoT data to gain a comprehensive and accurate understanding of their business’s operations, which will help them make better decisions.
Security field
In the future, companies may even take it for granted that they can remotely control and monitor equipment and appliances such as vehicles and HVAC systems, largely thanks to IoT connectivity. Security will play an important role. IoT security requires a multi-layered approach, with all players in the IoT ecosystem responsible for the security of devices, data and solutions. This means device manufacturers, application developers, consumers, operators, integrators and enterprises should all follow best practices. In 2019, we will see more investment into IoT security.
