By 2020 the Internet traffic will shift dramatically!

•  Most of the IP traffic will originate from other than personal computers (PCs). Wi-Fi traffic will exceed wired traffic and Full HD video will generate more traffic than standard video.

•  According to a recent report issued by Cisco, the number of connected devices (i.e. through IPv6 and evolution) will grow to some 50 billion devices by 2020. The internet traffic will get close to 44 Zettabytes (i.e. 10^21 bytes)!

•  In the Football World Cup in Brazil (June 2014), the Video streaming and internet broadcasting have generated 4.3 Exabytes (i.e. 10^18 bytes) of IP traffic, which is 3X the monthly IP traffic typically generated by Brazil.

Making Things Smarter 5

It used to tell you the time

And how you are doing

It used to remind you of someone

close to your heart

Now it reminds you to take care

of your heart

They used to keep your feet warm

Now they help you keep you and your feet fit

They used to help you see clearly

Now they help you to see more

Now it tells you what to do

And exactly what you

doing

Flexibility

Power [w]

•  Hardware and Algorithms need to be individually optimized for ultra-low power

•  Optimization at system level requires design that can be adapted to various architectures

•  Building on ST’s Open Software for sensors

Always-on sensor systems. Must be ultra low power!

Connectivity 18

•  Ultra low-power Bluetooth connectivity solution •  Master and Slave Single Mode BLE (4.0) Network

Processor. •  On chip non-volatile Flash memory allows OTA BLE-

stack upgrade. Stack qualified

•  Plug-and-play WiFi modules •  Fully qualified and certified •  Easy entry to wireless for customers

•  Spirit Transceiver for sub-1 GHz radios •  Very low power •  Flexible Multi-band transceiver •  Protocol stack Wireless M-BUS, 6LowPAN

Fostering the IoT’s ecosystem 19

Doing industry alliances

Best practices in Internet of Things privacy, security, and authentication

Establish interoperability standards for devices

Bringing complete IoT platform

Create platforms for IoT including: hardware, software, tools for application development and integration, big data and service on the cloud.

How can semiconductors assist in developing standards?

Barriers to IoT’s Adoption 20

Ease of use Security concerns

Regulation and compliance Standards

Ability to remotely manipulate physical

assets

Privacy violations & safety issues

Security concerns escalate up!

IoT implementations mandated by the

governments

Examples: •  eCall connected

car in Europe •  Rail safety act in

the US •  Smart grid

mandates around the world

Lack of standards

Business is hesitant to invest in connecting

assets

Some of the early success stories in IoT have benefited from

their ease of use

e.g.: NEST by Google

Vertical integration Focus on few big funded pilot projects for vertical applications, such as healthcare,

smart home, smart cities, industry 4.0 Could be good to consider Private-Public-Partnership (PPP) as done for the 5G or FI

Removing the Barriers

Ecosystem Gathering the full chain: semiconductor

companies, OEM, security provider, service provider, end to end integrator

Should allow partnerships outside EU when it makes sense.

Regulation EU shall play a big role

as an enabler or a show stopper!

Especially for Healthcare, Smart home and grid

Standardization Need to move fast!

Can help to protect some markets.

US approach is to do a pilot first then an industry consortium makes the standard.

Lowering the entry gap to access high tech! Startup and SME

•  EPoSS •  ST is among the founding fathers since 2005

•  ECSEL JU •  ST is part of the ECSEL JU Governing Board since the very start, on may 2014

•  AIOTI ST is member of Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI)

22

Conclusions •  The IoT has the potential to connect tens of billions of

objects to internet generating demand for sensors, microcontrollers, data connectivity and energy management.

•  ST has all the ingredients for the IoT and is winning today in the first high volume markets that have emerged.

•  In 10 years the internet technology will become invisible; completely integrated into our everyday lives in a way that is much less intrusive and with a truly human interface.
