IoT Architecture and Core IoT Modules

The IoT ecosphere starts with the simplest of sensors located in the remotest corners of the earth, and translates analog physical effects into digital signals (the language of the internet). Data then takes a complex journey through wired and wireless signals, various protocols, natural interference, and electromagnetic collisions, before arriving in the ether of the internet. From there, packetized data will traverse various channels arriving at a cloud or large data center. The strength of IoT is not just one signal from one sensor, but the aggregate of hundreds, thousands, potentially millions of sensors, events, and devices.

This chapter starts with a definition of IoT versus machine-to-machine architectures. It also addresses the architect's role in building a scalable, secure, and enterprise IoT architecture. To do that, an...

Key benefits

Build a complete IoT system that is the best fit for your organization

Description

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.

IoT for Architects is great. Easy to read and consume, relevant history, lots of information and will make an excellent reference book for the various areas it covers. As an architect myself, I was surprised at just how much I learn each time I read it.

The "Internet of Things for Architects" is well named. It provides good breadth and depth for those trying to get a handle on the world of IoT. The book starts with a peek into what IoT could/will be in the future, and then dips back into the history of how we arrived here. An overview of IoT device architecture is then followed by the details of the various technologies that are important for an architect: sensors, power systems, communications theory, protocols, routers, topologies, analytics, security, and so on. These are all excellent topics, and important for IoT, and Perry covers them well.The sections on sensors and Bluetooth are examples of the type of detailed and valuable explanation this book provides. They provide a good overview for those unfamiliar with the current state of the art, while giving significant detail for those needing more information.The section on sensors provides several different sensing technologies, their strengths and limitations, as well as examples of integrating sensors into a device - all valuable information when deciding which type of sensor to use in an IoT device.The section on Bluetooth is a great overview of Bluetooth classic, BLE, and Bluetooth Mesh, and how their respective communications work, even showing the contents of packets for BLE, and discussing beaconing. Since some of this information can be difficult to find, having it in one book can be a great help.The section on IoT security should be required reading for every architect considering implementing an IoT device. From the terminology and the discussion of various cyber attacks to understanding what should be done to design in security for devices, this section has much useful information for beginners as well as those with a good security background.Full Disclosure - I am a reviewer for this book, and did receive a free electronic copy. This review was not biased by this, however.

Great book describing all the underlying technologies, protocols and platforms in a comprehensive manner. Superb reference guide to understand IOT in relation to Blockchain, AI, ML etc.

Internet of Things for Architects: Architecting IoT solutions by implementing sensors, communication infrastructure, edge computing, analytics, and security This book cuts through the marketing fluff and gets to the meat of what is needed to design and implement a real IoT solution. I have read a few other IoT books and they all glossed over many of the important details that this book covers. They seemed to lack the technical depth to give an architect the tools needed to go from concept to a working product. Although, the book is lengthy, I found the "Internet of Things for Architects" both technically authoritative and also easy to read. Having read through the book, I will still be keeping a copy nearby for future reference. All of the important IoT topics are covered. Networking, communication theory, analytics, fog computing, hardware sensors, IO protocols and security are all discussed in great detail. Some topics, such as software defined networking (SDN), may require additional resources to fully understand, but this book will give you a good understanding of IoT architecture. This is a must read for anyone designing or managing IoT projects.

Love this book! Just what I was looking for as a repository of IoT concepts and is a great launching pad for digging in to and awareness of other monitoring and IoT concepts. Well done.
