There are five main IoT alliances/consortiums/groups focused on the Internet of Things and I interview them all. The Internet Protocol for Smart Object (IPSO) Alliance – episode E3 has been around for a while but the Open Interconnect Consortium (OIC) – episode 9, the Thread group, the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) and the Allseen Alliance have sprung up recently. Depending on your focus, one or more of these organizations and are worth looking into when starting your IoT journey.

Episode 7

Meet IoT’s three layers of protocols… the media layer, otherwise known as the physical layer or radio, the network layer and the application layer. Important because they make up the network stack that transports data from the sensor to the cloud. Important because they are standardized.

Episode E4

Wondering how IoT is being rolled out in cities? Look up… into the light. Streetlights are the perfect steppingstone to produce smart cities. Changing their bulbs to LEDs pay for themselves in 3-5 years but also present the opportunity to build out wireless mesh networks. These elevated networks allow more lighting control/efficiency and provide the foundation for other smart city services such as power and parking.

Episode E3

Alot of progress has been made in their first six years but there’s more work to be done.

Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript) with IPSO’s head honchos as we discuss the networking standardization challenges facing the Internet of Things and what they’re going to do about them. This is encore episode 3 of 4, which originally played in the IPv6 Show podcast

Episode E2

Is the Industrial Internet of Things Ripe for an IP Make-over Too? It all comes down to value. Value created by getting a better handle on the bottom line or even better, increasing the top line with innovative business models made possible by a strong IP foundation.

Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript) with Rob Bamforth as he takes us through an analysis of IP’s value proposition in IIoT and the challenges it faces along the way.This is encore episode 2, of 4, which originally played in the IPv6 Show podcast

Episode E1

IP rules the Internet, at least the Internet that connects people. Will it dominate the Internet of Things too? There are two endings to this story.

Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript) where we discuss one such ending with Internet of Things expert, Joachim Lindborg and how his Swedish rationality takes him there. This is encore episode 1, of 4, which originally played in the IPv6 Show podcast
