Internet of Things for Architects

By: Perry Lea

Overview of this book

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the fastest growing technology market. Industries are embracing IoT technologies to improve operational expenses, product life, and people's well-being. An architectural guide is necessary if you want to traverse the spectrum of technologies needed to build a successful IoT system, whether that's a single device or millions of devices. This book encompasses the entire spectrum of IoT solutions, from sensors to the cloud. We start by examining modern sensor systems and focus on their power and functionality. After that, we dive deep into communication theory, paying close attention to near-range PAN, including the new Bluetooth® 5.0 specification and mesh networks. Then, we explore IP-based communication in LAN and WAN, including 802.11ah, 5G LTE cellular, Sigfox, and LoRaWAN. Next, we cover edge routing and gateways and their role in fog computing, as well as the messaging protocols of MQTT and CoAP. With the data now in internet form, you'll get an understanding of cloud and fog architectures, including the OpenFog standards. We wrap up the analytics portion of the book with the application of statistical analysis, complex event processing, and deep learning models. Finally, we conclude by providing a holistic view of the IoT security stack and the anatomical details of IoT exploits while countering them with software defined perimeters and blockchains.

The IoT Story

Protocol consortia


These organizations maintain higher layer protocols and abstractions such as MQTT. While many protocols are open source, such as MQTT, membership allows for voting rights and participation in new standards.

Open Connectivity Foundation and Allseen Alliance

The details of the company are as follows:

The Open Connectivity Foundation was originally called the Open Interconnect Foundation but changed its name in 2016 to the OCF after the separation of Samsung from the working group and the addition of new members. For several years it was a separate entity from the Allseen Alliance, but in 2016 both organizations merged. Their combined charter is to build interoperability platforms for consumers, businesses, and industries through standards, frameworks, and a certification program under the name Open Connectivity Foundation. It spans multiple segments: automotive, consumer electronics, enterprise, healthcare...
