"What is the next step in the evolution of IoT systems? The answer is data,
information, which is a radical shift from assets, from things to input for
decision making," stated Michael Minkevich, VP of Technology Services at
Luxoft, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at @ThingsExpo, held November 3-5, 2015,
at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

All major researchers estimate there will be tens of billions devices -
computers, smartphones, tablets, and sensors - connected to the Internet by
2020. This number will continue to grow at a rapid pace for the next several
decades.

Monetizing Proximity Intelligence

Beacon technology offers a new way for companies to deliver value to their
customers by enabling micro-location based interaction at every physical
touch point. This knowledge opens up a new playground for creating
personalized services and inventing new experiences between a company and its
customers, but how exactly can organizations monetize this? For the past two
years we have heard about mobile notifications and messaging, but this has
not taken off and could be considered spamming.
In his session at @ThingsExp... (more)
Most of today's technology was designed and developed for static, stationary
environments. Even today, in a mobile world, mobile apps are most often
developed based on assumed static endpoints. Why is that a problem? We are
rarely static people.
Let's consider two people in a vehicle. The driver, assuming they use their
smartphone only when safely parked, searches for places, locations and
directions based on a static starting point. However, if the person
searching for places, locations and directions is a passenger in a moving
car, a different set of information is appropria... (more)
Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20
years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short
Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by
sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone.
Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology
standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it.
Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a
text message to Betty - mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to
businesses for cust... (more)
All eyes appeared to be on the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2016 in Las
Vegas since last week, as more than 3,600 companies unveiled the IoT and IIoT
innovations we can all expect to see in the coming year. This year's CES
showcased plans to make the car a complete mobile office-with technology in
place to allow Skype calls and the use of Microsoft 365 from the car. The
other hot theme at CES was drones - not a surprise since these unmanned
crafts have pulled us in like a tracker-beam to the mother ship. The
autonomous ‘copter drone was one of the most impressive releases with... (more)
Seismic monitoring tends to pop up in the news only during disaster
situations, or, more recently, in conjunction with North Korea's possible
detonation of a hydrogen bomb. Earlier in 2015, The New Yorker ran a piece,
"The Really Big One," looking at the probability of a large earthquake
destroying the Pacific Northwest. The earthquake off the coast of Japan in
2011 triggered one of the largest nuclear plant meltdowns of recent
history, the impact of which we are still dealing with today.
Point being, the typical association with seismic monitoring - earthquakes
and explosions -... (more)
