1. IoT Soup!
IoT and Smart City, Communications Layer of them,
and a little about some lessons learned …
Ali Rahmanpour

October 2016, University of Tehran

2. Smartness of Cities is a NECECCITY!
1964
2014
2050
36%
54%
70%
How many people live in cities?

3. Smart Cities are based on Data Gathering
So
IoT is a Critical part of Smart Cities
Smart Cities Council

4. Smart Parking, like Sfpark
in San Francisco (and many
other places)
Smart Transportation,
like U-Shelter in
Seoul
Some example services of smart-city:

5. Smart Bins, many cities,
like Madrid
Smart Lightning,
several cities around the
world, like in Spain
Some example services of smart-city:

6. Now Probably you can think about many
other Smart and Connected Things in Cities!

7. Don’t Forget: Smart City (and Smart Industry) applications
are just part of IoT Apps that We’ve focused on here …

8. Our World with IoT!

9. A Simple Architecture of IoT Systems
End-Nodes/Sensors
Communications Layer
Server and APIs
(Data and Device Management)
Data Visualization and Applications

10. IoT Communications:
Short2Middle Range Networks

11. IoT Communications:
Long-Range Networks
LPWAN Family
LTE-M NB-IoT

12. Range
PowerConsumption

14. Top-10 Applications of LPWANs (x1000)
“Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) networks play an important role in connecting a range of devices”, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, May 2016.

15. SigFox Architecture

16. LoRa Architecture

18. And a little-more about IoT, some lessons
learned and how to start working on IoT

19. IoT is truly a game-changer …

20. & What do we really mean
when we say “the 4th industrial revolution” ?
Let to investigate its effect with an example …
The story of Warner Bros in Hollywood and how they could move
step-by-step from showing movies to making them is just one of the
examples which shows the importance of “last chain” …

21. However it’s still more “Speaking” instead of
“Doing” and probably there is a bubble, But the
reality seems really big enough!

22. “The Internet of Things: MAPPING THE VALUE BEYOND THE HYPE”, Mckinsey Global Institute, 2015.
Developing and Developed
countries, side by side!

23. IoT is the land of opportunities for service providers who want
to propose solutions for Local problems! (especially in developing countries)
The ONLY indoor and outdoor gunshot solution provider

25. • I’m a technology lover and geek too, but believe me: most of
customers don’t care about how you do things!
• Choose the most efficient ways possible
• R&D is really important, especially in IoT, but should be
managed beside providing services.
If you can get information directly from a
Bee, it’s probably the best way to propose
a smart beekeeping solution!

26. o IoT services domain is ridiculously wide!
o It’s good and at the same time a little bad …

27. IoT can make huge benefits for both small service providers
and small customers!

28. And finally, like any other area:
We should Be ready to face unseen parts of the Iceberg
and don’t let hardships to make us exhausted!
& Don’t forget
that in IoT, not
just Challenges,
but Opportunities
are as an Iceberg
too!

29. About us
And some Partnership Opportunities

30. • Some Professional and Business Partnership
opportunities
• The areas we are working on

31. The Mission is to build a decentralized, open and crowd sourced IoT
data network.
Owned and operated by its users … .
Open & Society-based Partnership opportunities:
