RF FUNDAMENTALS FOR loT Class 3280.1

摘要

With the Internet of Things(loT) and the emergence of the Industrial Internet of Things(MoT),a surge of innovation is occurring across the industry that connects an ecosystem of sensors,devices and equipment to a network that promises to improve asset utilization,enhance process efficiency and boost productivity.With the estimated number of connected"things"expected to reach over 25 billion by 2020',this provides an opportunity to change the way business is done.The loT Ecosystem,as depicted below in Figure 1,consists of Sensors,Gateways,Infrastructure,and of course,the flashy part of the loT Ecosystem,Big Data and Analytics.A speaker at a recent loT conference summed it up best with the statement"Big Data will be Big!“.The modeling of data supporting predictive analytics,whether it resides in the cloud or at the edge,gives organizations the ability to quickly diagnose and troubleshoot not only their sensor networks from a predictive maintenance perspective but also their operations,reducing excess use of energy and/or raw materials.
