Big Issue in IoT

“Typical” IoT Architecture

InternetThings

ConnectedDevices

Cloud

Intelligence

(AI, Big data)

But … devices don’t live inside the cloud. They’re out in the wild.

How can we connect devices securely to the cloud?

SORACOM’s answer:

2G/3G/LTE/++ Core Network implemented on the Cloud

InternetDevices Base Stations

Connectivity Options

SORACOM provides all the benefits of the cloud.

But also…

Scalability

High Durability

Security

Controllability Pay-as-you-go

No long term contract

SORACOM enables customers to become a network operator.

Simple to Use APIs

Build private network dedicated for your devices and your servers.

Change data collection endpoint from one server to another w/o touching devices.

Connect/Disconnect remote device.

And more…

IoT in Action

No Wi-Fi Available

Safecast: Geiger counter for Fukushima Tokachi Bus: Real time Bus locator

This device gave insights into where exactly the city Govshould evacuate people to.

Reduced the amount of time people needed to wait at the outdoor bus stops in a very cold place in northern part of Japan.

Unreliable or insecure Wi-Fi

Photosynth: Smart Locks FullTime System: Smart Delivery Locker

Can complement home Wi-Fi that can sometimes be unstable and give stable connectivity to make sure the device is always available

Does not want to connect to customer’s network, in tis case the building’s community Wi-Fi

Edge Computing + Cloud AI/Analytics

Time

Parco: AI instore camera and analytics on Cloud

Preferred Networks: Edge AI and Cloud intelligence

Streaming the entire video data is costly and often times you do not need the entire video data. Doing the basic inference on the device and only sending the meta data is a good practice for AI use case.

The camera as a basic inference capability to capture gender, age group and their face either being happy or not. Only the results are uploaded for further analytics.

SDK/Cloud API on the Device?

Dydo Smart Vending Machine

With the network of 280,000 vending machines throughout Japan, DyDo DRINCO, Inc. offers exceptionally convenient retail experience.

Each "Smile STAND" vending machine is equipped with a Soracom SIM for cellular connectivity. And through SORACOM Funnel cloud adapter service, the vending machines send data directly to AWS cloud. This does not require DyDo to place an individual certificate or SDK on each device to send data to cloud.
