Machine to Machine Communications Vs. Internet of Things

M2M IoT

M2M are point to point communications while IoT relies on a network and is enabled by various gateways such as smartphones. With the IoT, one trigger can start multiple actions on different things

The IoT Big Bang

25 Billion to 50 billion connected devices by 2020

Cheaper, Smaller, Better technologies

Every sensor will create a new business opportunity

Enterprises and Consumers as two distinct driversConsumer applications will drive the volume and the variety of connected things in use but the industry will account for most of the revenue

The IoT on the Enterprise Side

Industrial Internet led by Manufacturing, Utilities & Transportation736 million connected things in use in 2015

From product-centric to service-centric

IoT Business revenues in 20201/10 hardware and 9/10 software & services

The World of Wearables

Differentiation Is On Its Way

A new wave of startups is coming like Electrozyme, Empatica & Lumo BodyTech

Since style is the 2nd barrier to adoption, more and more wearable tech companies are betting on fashion such as Cuff and Misfit. On their end, clothing companies partner with wearable companies (e.g. Asics/Citizen Sciences connected polo shirt)

Some segments need to be constantly monitored
