Live demonstrations of model IoT applications will showcase practical IoT deployments across various industry sectors, including Industrial IoT, Smart Cities, Retail, Travel & Transportation, and use cases involving connected devices and things.
Target Audience
Managers responsible for business and operational processes within their organizations who wish to learn how to leverage IoT to enhance system and process efficiency.
Entrepreneurs and Investors looking to establish new ventures and gain a deeper understanding of the IoT technology landscape to effectively utilize it in their projects.
The estimated market value of Internet of Things (IoT) is substantial, given that 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 connected devices is projected to reach 9 billion, rivaling the combined total of smartphones, smart TVs, tablets, wearable computers, and PCs.
In the consumer space, many products and services have already integrated with IoT, including kitchen and home appliances, parking solutions, RFID systems, lighting and heating products, and various applications in Industrial Internet.
While the underlying technologies of IoT are not new—M2M communication has existed since the inception of the internet—the recent emergence of numerous inexpensive wireless technologies, coupled with the widespread adoption of smartphones and tablets, has driven the explosive growth of mobile devices, leading to the current demand for IoT.
The vast opportunities in the IoT business have attracted a significant number of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs. The rise of open-source electronics and IoT platforms has made it increasingly affordable to develop and manage IoT systems on a large scale. Existing electronic product owners are feeling pressure to integrate their devices with the internet or mobile apps.
This training program is designed to provide a comprehensive review of an emerging industry, enabling IoT enthusiasts and entrepreneurs to grasp the fundamentals of IoT technology and business.
