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

PAN consortia


Personal area networks (both IP and non-IP based) have several consortia and governance committees. Many are formed by founding partners and require membership or affiliation for usage rights.

Bluetooth SIG

The details of the company are as follows:

The Bluetooth SIG was formed in 1998 by five member companies: Ericsson, Nokia, Toshiba, and IBM. By the end of 1998, they had 400 members in the organization. The charter of the organization is to advance the standards, forums, markets, and understanding of Bluetooth technologies. The organization oversees the development, as well as the licensing and trademarks of Bluetooth. Organizationally, the SIG is divided into smaller focused groups: study groups for research, expert groups that span multiple Bluetooth domains, working groups that are dedicated to the development of new standards, and committees that focus on licensing and marketing. Membership is divided...
