This is as it should be, in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is that most of the things one finds in the Internet of Things are small, inexpensive, and noticeably unsexy. Small beacons, sensors, and boards. Cables. Routers. The infrastructure doesn&#8217;t have an overpowering presence or coolness.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, there are connected cars that are pretty cool. But a car is a car, and not something we haven&#8217;t seen before. And there are other big exceptions, such as GE Software and IBM gathering data from jet engines.<\/p>\n<p>But in my opinion, the true excitement within the IoT comes with the massive dataflows, analytics, and consequent potential to transform industries and societies. It&#8217;s not only a lot of fun to gaze at visualizations, interfaces, and the latest in software developments in the area of predictive analytics. In doing so, we can see a future of continuous improvements in agriculture, healthcare, materials and manufacturing, and transportation.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Many_discussions\"><\/span>Many discussions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At ThingsExpo, for example, there were some highly interesting discussions:<br \/>\n<!-- Linkedin Profile Badge: http:\/\/3doordigital.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/linkedin-profile-badge\/ -->\r\n<script type=\"IN\/MemberProfile\" data-id=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/esmeraldaswartz\" data-format=\"hover\"  data-text=\"Esmeralda Swartz\" data-related=\"false\"><\/script> of Ericsson outlined a program of Volvo connected cars and said there would be tens of millions of self-driven vehicles on the road by 2020.<\/p>\n<!-- Linkedin Profile Badge: http:\/\/3doordigital.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/linkedin-profile-badge\/ -->\r\n<script type=\"IN\/MemberProfile\" data-id=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/chrismatthieu\" data-format=\"hover\"  data-text=\"Chris Matthieu\" data-related=\"false\"><\/script> of Octoblu (now part of Citrix) talked about how his original vision of \u201cSkynet\u201d (from the Terminator movies) has morphed, in the real world, into a less benign, yet very powerful mesh of ubiquitous IoT-connected devices.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">[now] Chris Matthieu Keynote \u25b8 <a href=\"http:\/\/iot.sys-con.com\/node\/3526371\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/1PTdmJP<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chrismatthieu\">@ChrisMatthieu<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IoT2040\">@IoT2040<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IoT?src=hash\">IoT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/M2M?src=hash\">M2M<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/API?src=hash\">API<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RTC?src=hash\">RTC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/InternetOfThings?src=hash\">InternetOfThings<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ql68jnrm1B\">pic.twitter.com\/Ql68jnrm1B<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; @ThingsEXPO (@ThingsExpo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ThingsExpo\/status\/662316823971393536\">November 5, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n<!-- Linkedin Profile Badge: http:\/\/3doordigital.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/linkedin-profile-badge\/ -->\r\n<script type=\"IN\/MemberProfile\" data-id=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/andersbrown\" data-format=\"hover\"  data-text=\"Anders Brown\" data-related=\"false\"><\/script> of Luxoft talked about how a major farm-tractor manufacturer not only uses GPS to maximize cultivation, but also relays real-time information about weather conditions, predicted yields, and other key information.<\/p>\n<!-- Linkedin Profile Badge: http:\/\/3doordigital.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/linkedin-profile-badge\/ -->\r\n<script type=\"IN\/MemberProfile\" data-id=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/bradleyholt\" data-format=\"hover\"  data-text=\"Bradley Holt\" data-related=\"false\"><\/script> of IBM Cloudant talked about how to bring data from the cloud to the edge of a network (an area called \u201cfog computing\u201d by some), with the goal of building offline IoT apps.

The unanimous opinion of the panel was for companies to \u201cstart small.\u201d Even an all-encompassing IoT vision needs to have a modest PoC and pilot to show how this vision will actually play out, and allow for rational planning for a project&#8217;s ultimate cost, benefits, and ROI.<\/p>\n<p>A news crew from NHK (public TV in Japan) was on-site, recording certain sessions and interviewing people. The takeaway I got from the producer was that companies in Japan view the US as the global leader in IoT\u2014something I might dispute, given the high level of activity in Europe\u2014and Silicon Valley as the center of IoT in the US.<\/p>\n<p>(A recent search we conducted showed the highest number of engaged professionals in IoT to be in Silicon Valley, Boston, Seattle, and Dallas.)<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_forget_PaaS\"><\/span>Don&#8217;t forget PaaS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, burbling beneath all this\u2014and beneath numerous technical sessions focused on the IoT\u2014was the realization that a serious platform must exist to make these dreams possible. Furthermore, conversations I had with attendees seemed to be steered back to on-premises cloud infrastructure. The engineers with whom I spoke said they need to test and eventually deploy IoT projects with massive horizontal scaling and felt more at ease doing this on their own infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Cloud Foundry was quietly mentioned in these conversations\u2014and to be fair, OpenShift was as well. Red Hat has had a significant presence at Cloud Expo in recent years, with lots of discussion about the IoT. I think that a year from now I&#8217;ll be able to report how at least some of these ideas have become implementations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thousands of attendees
