Moving from Cloud Computing to Fog Computing

How the IoT will Change the Way We Live and Work

The Internet of Things is NOT about getting everyday devices connected

...

The Internet of Things IS about challenging the status quo and the

way things work in the Physical World …

We like to ask questions like …

Why are lights controlled by physical switches?

Why do I need a thermostat on the wall of my home?

Why do doors have physical keys?

Why do cars have steering wheels?

Why do I have to connect devices to my home network?

Why do I even have a home network?

Why are packages delivered by people?

Why do patients go to Doctors in person?

Why do I still drive by office buildings at night and see lots of

lights on?

Why can't a house detect a water leak and turn off the water?

Why does 33% of the food produced on the planet go to

waste?

Why is the IoT happening now?

Why Now?

But there are still barriers to making all of this a reality …

Reduce friction for developers

# ask the switch to turn on the light switchDevice.sendZclCommandNoAck(switchPort, switchEndPoint, lightDevice, lightEndPoint, ZCL_CLUSTER_ID_GEN_ON_OFF, ZCL_FRAME_CLIENT_SERVER_DIR, switchEndPoint.onCmd()) t = Timer(toggleDelay, name = ”On command watchdog") t.start() # we should get a notification alt( [ [ lightPort.RECEIVE(lightEndPoint.mw_incomingZcl(), value = 'incomingZclMsg'), lambda: t.stop() ], [ lightPort.RECEIVE(), lambda: REPEAT ], [ t.TIMEOUT, lambda: stop() ], ]) if value and value('incomingZclMsg')[1]: _msg = value('incomingZclMsg')[1] lightEndPoint.incomingZclCmd(lightPort, lightDevice, _msg['clusterId'], _msg['cmdCode'], _msg['data'])

Switch1.on() // from anywhere // without regard for protocol // without regard for device location

This Instead of This

Extend Cloud Computing to become Fog Computing so that we can put

intelligence close to the devices, even mobile ones

What Will Fog Computing Look Like?

Reduce friction for Connecting Devices & Create Specialized

Networks with Dedicated Spectrum

Spectrum Will Inhibit Usability

Simplify the Overall User Experience

Discovery Setup In-Life

Make every home into a smart home

Easy Open Secure
