Covers physical layer communications; bits; signaling; Modulation; error control; etc. Wired & Wireless Comms

Data & Control Interfaces Standards

Covers the “rules” of communications = “protocol”. Protocols for messaging, routing, etc.

Covers the standard for “serialization” of data

Covers the standard for data acquisition and control

OTHER STANDARDS TO DO Future Work

• IoT Reference Architecture

• IoT Information & Service Interoperability

• IoT Security Standards

STANDARDS COMPLIANCE

Systems from different ministries and agencies need to interoperate and share data. Who will ensure compliance is done?

• Standards are important for SG

• Smart Nation technologies

– open

– interoperable

• Need collective efforts

• Let’s build a Smart Nation together
