Internet of Things: 140 pages of R&D details - NEW REPORT

New Report: Internet of Things: How the Vision is being Researched, Developed & Productized

The vision of the “Internet of Things,” in which Internet connectivity is extended to huge numbers of “things” in the real world, promises to transform our ability to process information about the real world and interact with real-world objects electronically. This dream has captured the world’s attention, with new developments and media articles daily.

But what is really being researched and developed? Are the implementations that are soon to reach market truly achieving the vision? What major companies are working on it?  Who is bringing it to market? What exactly is each company researching?

In this new 135-page report, Grizzly Analytics analyzes and reports the research in progress at major technology companies, including Google, Microsoft, Apple, Nokia, ZTE, Qualcomm, Intel, Cisco, General Electric, IBM and others. The report additionally profiles over twenty start-up companies bringing Internet of Things products and solutions to market, along with several industry consortia and alliances.


Only Grizzly Analytics reports give you the hard facts about R&D in progress. Which major companies are researching how to route queries from smartphones to sensor networks, or how to control home appliances from mobile devices? Which are exploring unique wireless technologies?  Which are working on hubs to connect to every-day objects, and which are building on existing wireless connections? Which are researching adding connectivity to keychains or bicycles, and which are working on mobile healthcare or personal safety?  This report gives you the concrete R&D details.

Grizzly Analytics analysis finds the following key attributes of research in progress:

  1. What is being connected: sensors, every-day objects, or appliances?
  2. Are the “things” interactive, or do they deliver ambient intelligence via the network?
  3. Do the “things” connect directly or via a gateway?
  4. How is data from sensors & devices secured and kept private?
  5. What analysis can be done on collected data?
  6. What applications of the Internet of Things will actually be valuable to users?

This 135 page report is a must-read for:

Ø      researchers to know the approaches that others are working on
Ø      corporate planning groups to know what their competition is doing
Ø      start-up companies to know which major companies to pitch to
Ø      business development groups to know which start-up companies will fit their needs
Ø      investors to know which companies will lead this new area
Ø      venture capitalists to know which start-ups fill niches in this area
Ø      cellular operators to know where their next-generation capabilities will come from
Ø      municipal professionals and consultants looking at city-wide sensor systems
Ø      researchers in related areas, including exercise & health accessories and car systems

and anyone else who needs to track this exciting new technology.

Sensor-fusion indoor location system in over 30 malls in Singapore

SingTel just deployed indoor mapping and navigation from Swedish start-up  SenionLab  in over 30 shopping malls in Singapore, with 20 more in planning, in the biggest single deployment we've seen yet of customized indoor location technology. The most significant aspect of this deployment is that this is one of the first commercial deployments of indoor location technology that uses a new technology approach called "sensor fusion," which uses sensors in smartphones (gyroscope, compass, accelerometer, ...) to track location by sensing the phone's movements. Most indoor location systems determine location by measuring the signals of nearby Wi-Fi hotspots or cellular antennas, but this risks looking choppy as the phone waits for the radio signals to change to detect the next place it is. Sensing motion using phone sensors makes the system work more smoothly, regardless of radio signal details.  (The SenionLab solution does use Wi-Fi signals as well, to compe...

Nokia indoor location positioning research shown at MWC 2012

Grizzly Analytics has been looking closely at indoor location technology, both technology research at major companies and technology solutions available to store-owners and other site managers .  At MWC we expected that indoor location would be prominent, and we weren't disappointed! We had the pleasure of seeing a large number of demonstrations of indoor positioning in action.  This is the first of several blog posts looking at these demonstrations, starting with Nokia. First I'll give some explanation, then below is a video showing Nokia's demo in action and hearing comments from their researchers. Nokia has been researching indoor location technology for years, and the technology has advanced each year but not yet reached market.  Their demo is, in a word, breathtaking, in the speed and precision at which it tracks people walking around the room.  People are seen on a computer screen or phone screen, in real-time, moving as they walk around the demo room flo...

Adding real value to smartphone camera pictures

Most technology features follow a similar path, from imitation to improvement to transformation.  First they imitate something that came before, like telephones imitating the telegraphs of yesteryear.  Then they improve on them, like phones entering individual homes. Then they transform the entire endeavor, completely surpassing the previous technology, like phones automatically connecting people without operator involvement, which enabled society to communicate in ways that telegraph users never contemplated. Cellphone cameras are following a similar path.  At the beginning cellphone cameras were imitating digital cameras, adding the convenience of carrying only one device but basically doing the same as digital cameras did.  Then they improved on them, both with quality improvements and with the ability to share pictures wirelessly without wiring the phone to a computer.  The ability to instantly share and synchronize pictures from a phone is somewhat transf...
