ABSTRACT
The Information and Communication Technology development generates more and more things/objects that are becoming embedded with sensors and having the ability to communicate with other objects, that is transforming the physical world itself into an information and knowledge system. The elements related to mobile networks, enabling scalability, large sensor networks, network virtualization, software defined networks, device management platforms, service oriented networks, cloud computing and big data to address the challenges related to standardisation. IERC is working to create a reference for pre-standardisation activities of EC Internet of Things (IoT) research projects that is the base for the position paper and the IoT standardisation roadmap. Internet of Things gives semiconductor growth opportunity with possibilities for the billions of Machine-to-Machine connected devices and the smart devices that provide the man-machine user experience. ETSI is a producer of globally applicable standards for ICT, including fixed, mobile, radio, converged, broadcast and Internet technologies.
