Internet of Things for Architects

Perry Lea is a 30-year veteran technologist. He spent over 20 years at Hewlett-Packard as chief architect and distinguished technologist of the LaserJet business. He then led a team at Micron focusing on emerging compute using in-memory processing for machine learning and computer vision. At Cradlepoint, he pivoted the company into 5G and the IoT. He then co-founded Rumble, an industry leader in edge/IoT products. He is the principal architect for Microsoft's Xbox business and works on emerging technologies and hyperscale game streaming, and has authored 40 patents, with 30 pending.

Learn to design, implement and secure your IoT infrastructureKey Features:Build a complete IoT system that is the best fit for your organizationLearn about different concepts, technologies, and tradeoffs in the IoT architectural stackUnderstand the theory, concepts, and implementation of each element that comprises IoT design¿from sensors to the cloudImplement best practices to ensure the reliability, scalability, robust communication systems, security, and data analysis in your IoT infrastructureBook 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.What You Will Learn:Understand the role and scope of architecting a successful IoT deployment, from sensors to the cloudScan the landscape of IoT technologies that span everything from sensors to the cloud and everything in betweenSee the trade-offs in choices of protocols and communications in IoT deploymentsBuild a repertoire of skills and the vernacular necessary to work in the IoT spaceBroaden your skills in multiple engineering domains necessary for the IoT architectWho this book is for:This book is for architects, system designers, technologists, and technology managers who want to understand the IoT ecosphere, various technologies, and tradeoffs and develop a 50,000-foot view of IoT architecture.
