Pervasive IOT
Leveraging Open Platform,
OTS and Recycled Hardware, Communities
LeWeb 2012 Paris
Preliminary Draft
‘Connecting Everything’ ? Only if creates value
IoT is there to improve people’s life, freedom,
choice and entrepreneurial initiative
Preliminary Draft2
Neelie Kroes,
Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for the Digital Agenda
High-level Internet of Things conference, Budapest, 16th May 2011
“Our goal, and our commitment, should be to create a vision that focuses
on providing real value for people”
Many vertical solutions -> lacking of common platform, UX, frameworks
‘Things’ seldom ready to be connected -> ‘organic’ technology lifecycle and
replacement is a constraint
Barriers for Global IOT Adoption
Cost for Connecting Things and for Applications -> ROI
Nerd degree required for deploying turnkey solution
3 Preliminary Draft
Real Benefits -> Sustainable Business Case vs. hype & trendiness
The Target Market: B2B & B2C
‘Smart Home Revenues to reach almost $60bn by 2017’
‘IoT & M2M communication market is expected to grow to $290Bnby 2017’
‘Factory Automation Market worth 185$Bn by 2016’
4
by 2017’
Market is huge
BUT SME, SOHO and Consumer markets are, very fragmented, difficult to reach and to convince in adopting innovation, if not ‘ready to use’ products
Preliminary Draft
What we aim to …
Pervasive adoption of Alleantia monitoring and control
solutions for dispersed and heterogeneous systems via
⇒ Open platform & architectures
5 Preliminary Draft
⇒ Off-The-Shelf hardware
⇒ Recycled hardware (Internet of reborn Things)
⇒ Developers’ & Assistants’ Communities
… leveraging an open community of developers and
assistants
⇒ CREATE “CENTERLESS R&D ORGANIZATION” DELIVERING APPLIED
PROTOTYPES LEVERAGING THE YOUNG AND CREATIVE CROWD OF
NATIONS
6
⇒ CREATE «TECHNOLOGY ASSISTANTS» FRANCHISE NETWORK
CONNECTING YOUNG TECHNOLOGY SAVVY WITH OLDER PEOPLE
TO FACILITATE ADOPTION OF B2C IoT SOLUTIONS TO MASSES

How we do it – Hardware (1)
Alleantia Open Control Platform can be installed almost anywhere
Intel-based hardware for market launch
and industrial grade (rugged) solutions
ARM-based hardware for large
scale deployment (RapsberryPI)
Products launched @LeWeb
Preliminary Draft9
Recycled Smartphones for Global scale Sustainable Deployment (IOrT Everywhere)
(to be implemented)
Recycled Phone
ARM Processor
How we do it – Hardware (2)
Multi I/O Station for closing the ‘Things Connection’ gap
‘The Things’ needs external interfaces at near-zero costs
We built a multi I/O ARDUINO-based device accepting multiple digital and analog
input signals, with counter and frequency functions.
ARDUINO community can add new solutions for future features
Preliminary Draft10
Looking Forward to License to Third Parties for OTS Delivery
How we do it – Developers Community and Solutions Market
for B2B & B2C
� The Crowd will develop ‘killer apps’� Consistent results and manage qualified communities� Market Management through revshare model � Follow a buy & partner strategy
Adoption of an Open Innovation model for leveraging the strenght of the crowd for
creating “R&D Center-less Organization” delivering solution prototypes
Preliminary Draft11
How we do it – «Technology Assistants» Franchise Network
� Crowdsourcing for skilled tasks is not new and a number of experiences can be identified around the world that serve as a reference like «Task Rabbit» and «Husband to hire»
SELLING IoT SOLUTIONS TO HOUSEHOLDS and SOHO REQUIRES MORE THAN A PRODUCT, IT
REQUIRES TRUST AND SERVICE TO OVERCOME THE BARRIER OF PRODUCT INSTALLATION AND
USER TRAINING
Preliminary Draft12
