Implementing IoT - Needs and Challenges

13Spirent Communications PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

IoT Implementation: Success factors

Proper Network access

Security!

Support for multiple ecosystems

Proper solution architecture for data, management and control

Focus on Interoperability

14Spirent Communications PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

Multitude of standards and competing frameworks

Standards keep evolving and will be for a foreseeable future

Critical needs:

Support multiple access/transport protocols

Support wide range of connectivity protocols

Security

Support multiple platforms and ecosystems

Enable application developers

Ease of deployment – enable SPs

Enable universal analytics access

Remote diagnostics and monitoring

Challenges for IoT Solution Implementers

15Spirent Communications PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

Interconnect

Multiple ecosystems will coexist

Enable devices to connect to any platform

Aggregation and control

Manage the data – not all data can/should hit the network

Create an Edge/”Fog” elements as needed

Any designated device can become the control point/hub/gateway as needed
