What is the Internet of Things?
• Cisco “Internet of Everything”
– …the latest wave of the Internet -- connecting
physical objects…to provide better safety, comfort,
and efficiency
• IBM “Internet of Things”
– …a completely new world-wide web, one comprised
of the messages that digitally empowered devices
would send to one another. It is the same Internet,
but not the same Web.
• GE “Industrial Internet”
– …convergence of machine and intelligent data…to
create brilliant machines
• RTI “Your Systems. Working as One.”
– …to enable the potential of smart machines to serve
mankind and fundamentally change the economic
infrastructure
