How smart endpoints help solve Cloud cost and bandwidth issues
Security in the real IoT world

Transcripts:
williamcabanSo, besides the concept of connecting everything@everywhere, does IoT brings any new protocol?
CommsNinjaGood question William-we'll get that one answered in a minute.
williamcabanCan IoT be seen as a "bigdata" problem sourced in hyper-connectivity?
subnetworkfog...new marketing term...a unicorn just received its wings and became a pegacorn
CommsNinjaLOL
williamcabancloud + fog + storms.... should we get a degree in Weather Forecasting?
LaurenFriedman@william -you havent?
CommsNinjaMoreLOL
williamcaban@LaurenFriedmanLOL
subnetworkso we are talking SNR for data
subnetworkright
LaurenFriedman@subnetwork woo hoo!
Billyc5022can we attach cameras to unicorns and stream their flights through the cloud
CommsNinjaYes
CommsNinja #GoProWithGlitter
koolaidITPractical applications; earthquake early warning sensors
amyengineernever forget the glitter
CommsNinjaGood one@koolaidIT
subnetworkone easy example is IFTTT, making data useful
koolaidITEvery time i hear about this Malaysian flight IoT comes to mind
Billyc5022 @koolaidIT
Billyc5022good one
subnetworkmaybe not flowers, but there are already projects that text you if you need to water your flowers
Billyc5022Are we seeing an IoT impact on WiFi and 4G networks ?
koolaidIT #CLUS keynote demo last year was monitoring corn crops as part of the overall soda supply system
CommsNinjaI've already jobbed out my brain to my phone, why not my gardening.
CommsNinjaI've seen something with cattle as well.
subnetworkThe biggest problem is that the current networks don't apply to sensor networks
amyengineerHow is IPv6 playing a role in the IoT? Is the current depletion of IPv4 addresses moving forward or holding back IoT?
ROBSTEELEcattle are tracked and delivered specific food / medication based on need
subnetworkgreat questions amyengineer, as always
twidfekiWhat about replacing the security rich SCADA networks with IoT devices?
LaurenFriedman@commsninja -you saw the IoT infographic from a few years ago
koolaidITwhere's @Gallifreyan, IoT @ Disney https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/plan/my-disney-experience/bands-cards/
amyengineerlaughing out loud at "security rich SCADA"
Billyc5022where do I get those sensors ? My mini-mes need them
subnetworkwhich goes back to the statement that current networks don't support sensor networks in the traditional manner
amyengineerpractically how do you handle security when manufacturers are slapping a NIC on a device and calling it a day? Things like HVAC come to mind...
koolaidITIn re: security, some are considering the anti#IoT (which is wrong)
koolaidIThttps://securityledger.com/2014/03/is-analog-the-answer-to-our-digital-insecurity-dilemma/
LaurenFriedman@amyengineer like HVAC company and target?
Guest 9When can we expect additional information about IOx are there whitepapers or technical resources available?
subnetworksounds like InterCloud
williamcabanSo, we need a Facebook for devices! Now I've seen everything!
CommsNinjaIf my flowers friend me on FB, I quit.
koolaidITif @Pinebeard can exist, why not your flowers?
williamcabanROFTL!
CommsNinjaROFL +1!
Billyc5022privacy concerns with every IoT device we own "phoning home".
koolaidIT^^This
williamcabandid I miss the answer for this: Besides the concept of connecting everything@everywhere, does IoT brings any new protocol?
Billyc5022brings more network traffic and more and bigger databases
williamcabanFire!... and the flowers start screaming (by SMS)
CommsNinjaFB Post: Is it hot in here?#thetulips
williamcabanLOL
subnetwork LOL
koolaidITWhat will we be seeing in terms of redistribution of the wireless spectrum. Is there enough currently available to support most applications?
Billyc5022Fire!... and the flowers start screaming (via Jabber)
CommsNinjaBe warned: we're wrapping in ~10. I'm going to unmute all the called in people.
Billyc5022more UCS servers
ScottmacdonaldNo Questions?Perhaps I should play my guitar
CommsNinja LOL
