Key benefits

Build a complete IoT system that's the best fit for your organization
Learn about different concepts, tech, and trade-offs in the IoT architectural stack
Understand the theory and implementation of each element that comprises IoT design

Description

Industries are embracing IoT technologies to improve operational expenses, product life, and people's well-being. An architectural guide is needed 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 IoT devices. IoT and Edge Computing for Architects, Second Edition encompasses the entire spectrum of IoT solutions, from IoT sensors to the cloud. It examines modern sensor systems, focusing on their power and functionality. It also looks at communication theory, paying close attention to near-range PAN, including the new Bluetooth® 5.0 specification and mesh networks. Then, the book explores IP-based communication in LAN and WAN, including 802.11ah, 5G LTE cellular, Sigfox, and LoRaWAN. It also explains edge computing, routing and gateways, and their role in fog computing, as well as the messaging protocols of MQTT 5.0 and CoAP. With the data now in internet form, you'll get an understanding of cloud and fog architectures, including the OpenFog standards. The book wraps up the analytics portion with the application of statistical analysis, complex event processing, and deep learning models. The book then concludes by providing a holistic view of IoT security, cryptography, and shell security in addition to software-defined perimeters and blockchains.

Who is this book for?

This book is for architects, system designers, technologists, and technology managers who want to understand the IoT ecosphere, technologies, and trade-offs, and develop a 50,000-foot view of IoT architecture. An understanding of the architectural side of IoT is necessary.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

The author does an excellent job breaking down the necessary components that are relevant to the IoT industry. Could an architect, engineer or technical manager get this information from the web? Yes, but the author saves your valuable time by covering a large breadth of technical knowledge at just the right (to me) detail needed to make decisions. An excellent balance of topics covered and just the right detail.My only nit-pick are the graphic illustrations. They are somewhat low quality and inconsistent, but they are useful to gaining understanding of the specific topics.Overall, as a 30+ year computer engineer, manager, director and VP, I highly recommend this book and look forward to future updates.David Paul

Despite the fact that the book is a bit thick (600 pages), I didn't take away much for myself. I'm interested in electronics and IoT, but it was very boring to read this book. Although there is a lot of information, it is not very well explained. Reading the book, you get the feeling that the author took the time to write the first few chapters, the skeleton of the book, and then just copied information from official documentation and did not explain much. In general, the book is written in the style of ChatGPT: quite encyclopedic and with hidden logical connections. Perhaps you can use the book as a field guide: take a section and google it yourself, but then why is this book for 46 euros? A lot of redundant information: many tables and diagrams with unnecessary or unreadable information.On the other hand, a lot of topics are overlapped, but there are no IoT templates for development (this is the biggest disappointment, because this is what I wanted to learn). Two-thirds of the book is about different communication protocols. I'm a nub and have never built a serious IoT device, but I don't see how to use the information I've read in practice. Although IoT system architects probably don't need to know in detail how to create a system, but only to describe it at a fairly high level and not forget all the main blocks. In this case, the book has the right to exist, although it is useless.

Gostei muito da abordagem do livro. Linguagem inteligível possibilitando um ótimo entedimento da parte técnica. Me surpreendeu muito.

The author presents in a structured and concise plain English all the areas for the IoT architect to consider from endpoints to cloud. Very well documented with scarce, if at all, errata. Immaculate usage of plain English to describe difficult technical subjects without denoting them to over-simplicity. Suitable for all levels of IoT enthusiasts: the uninitiated, the initiated and the technology experts, all can benefit from reading it. May also be used as a handbook of technical subjects for an IoT architect to study and implement in a project according to the given guidelines. It is the second Packt book I have read so far and I'm completely satisfied with the overall investment I made in both time and money.

Excellent resource. As someone indicated, there is a significant focus on the network details but given the topic, I think that's fair. Recommended for people who already have solid IT experience and want to understand more about IoT and Edge Computing.
