The proliferation of connected technologies across multiple industries is undeniable. Research firm Gartner put the figure of connected things in use at 8.4 billion in 2017, up 31% from the year before. That will reach 20.4 billion devices by 2020, Gartner predicted. Within these figures, it’s estimated that consumer applications represents 63% of total IoT applications in 2017. Impressive, sure, but worth noting is that this means business applications represent a huge part of this growing opportunity, as much as 37% last year.

M2M is a subsystem of the Internet of Things—but not the other way round. Their key difference is that in M2M the physical-first products are connected on a closed and point-topoint basis, while in the IoT this happens on a more open and multipoint basis. What constitutes a physical-first “Thing” is a moving target, relying on the perceived novelty of products going smart and connected. Therefore, what is considered part of the IoT today may someday be considered a natural part of the Internet of Digital.

The definition of what these ‘things’ are can be fuzzy and is constantly evolving. The IoT also overlaps with previous concepts like computing, wireless sensor networks and cyber-physical systems. Below is an illustration of IoT devices found within a typical smart building network and how these systems communicate with one another.

Together, AI and IoT can fulfill the promise of the smart city by transforming every aspect of city government. But where do you start? The choices are overwhelming. A smart city uses information and communication technologies to improve the performance of urban services like energy, water, public safety and transportation, making cities safer, healthier, and more sustainable and resilient.
