Unlike other technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) is significantly more complex, encompassing a wide range of core engineering disciplines such as Mechanical, Electronics, Firmware, Middleware, Cloud, Analytics, and Mobile. Each layer of its engineering involves various aspects of economics, standards, regulations, and the evolving state of the art. For the first time, this course offers a comprehensive overview of all these critical aspects of IoT Engineering.
Summary
An advanced training program covering the latest advancements in Internet of Things (IoT).
This program spans multiple technology domains to develop an understanding of an IoT system and its components, and how it can benefit businesses and organizations.
Live demonstrations of model IoT applications will showcase practical IoT deployments across various industry sectors, including Industrial IoT, Smart Cities, Retail, Travel & Transportation, and use cases involving connected devices and things.
Target Audience
This course is designed for managers responsible for business and operational processes within their respective organizations who wish to learn how to leverage IoT to enhance the efficiency of their systems and processes.
It is also suitable for entrepreneurs and investors looking to build new ventures and gain a deeper understanding of the IoT technology landscape to effectively utilize it in their projects.
The market value estimates for the Internet of Things (IoT) are enormous, given that by definition, the IoT is an integrated and pervasive layer of devices, sensors, and computing power that spans consumer, business-to-business, and government industries. By 2018, the number of connected devices is expected to reach 9 billion, which will be roughly equivalent to the combined total of smartphones, smart TVs, tablets, wearable computers, and PCs.
In the consumer space, numerous products and services have already integrated with the IoT, including kitchen and home appliances, parking solutions, RFID technology, lighting and heating systems, and various applications in the Industrial Internet.
While the underlying technologies of IoT are not new—M2M communication has existed since the inception of the internet—the significant changes in recent years include the emergence of numerous inexpensive wireless technologies, coupled with the widespread adoption of smartphones and tablets. The explosive growth of mobile devices has driven the current demand for IoT.
Due to the vast opportunities in the IoT business, many small and medium-sized entrepreneurs have joined the IoT gold rush. Additionally, the rise of open-source electronics and IoT platforms has made the development and management of IoT systems more affordable. Existing electronic product owners are facing pressure to integrate their devices with the internet or mobile applications.
This training aims to provide a technology and business review of an emerging industry, enabling IoT enthusiasts and entrepreneurs to grasp the fundamentals of IoT technology and its business potential.
