IoT Hasnt Achieved its True Potential:Prateek Pashine, Tata
TeleservicesBy Madhav Mohan, 14-Oct-2014
To further the cause of IOT in India, Prateek Pashine,
head-Enterprise Business, Tata Teleservices throws light on what
IoT isand how its sensors work.
Internet of things is doing the rounds in tech
industry. Prateek Pashine, head- Enterprise
Business, Tata Teleservices talks about how IoT
works and what potential it holds.
Do you think IoT replicates the human decision
making process?
As the definition goes, The Internet of Things (IoT)
is the combination of sensors, a network, and
applications. What makes it almost human is the
fact that it replicates the human decision
making processes. Every minute of our lives, we
process various kinds of information and then take decisions
based on the information provided to
us. The concept of IoT follows the same process except that the
information is being collected by
sensors and processed by an application
In the IoT world, objects and machines constantly talk to each
other based on which intelligent
information is collated, analysed, and appropriate action or
decisions are taken. This is very similar to
how we humans would handle any situation or task.
How do IoT sensors work?
In todays digital world, objects and devices contain sensors,
which capture various kinds of
information on a real time basis. This information could relate
to a temperature sensor in a
refrigerator or a door opening sensor connected to an office
door, or even a GPS sensor in a vehicle
or a shipping container to track real time location.
IoT sensors measure different parameters in real time and allow
IoT systems to use that data to take
decisions and trigger required action. For example, for a
refrigerated vehicle delivering ice-creams to
retail stores, the parameters to be sensed are internal
temperature of the refrigerator
and the location of the vehicle. If for any reason the
temperature varies and the ice-cream starts
melting, the temperature can be either lowered remotely or the
vehicle can be diverted to the nearest
store.
How critical is high speed broadband connectivity requirement in
IoT?

Connectivity plays a critical role in enabling IoT applications.
The speed of the connectivity depends
on whether the use case requires processing of information on a
real-time basis or not. In
applications such as healthcare, security & surveillance,
industrial automation, real time availability of
sensor information could be what makes the ultimate difference
in success or failure of the process,
which has been automated.
How much can we trust the IoT?
Like any other technological advancements, IoT will present
aspects, which will need to be debated.
At the end of the day, if the applications are used for the
correct purpose, the advantages will far
outweigh the concerns. As an example, home surveillance may pose
privacy issues, but it leads to
peace of mind. Ultimately, people will evaluate the pros and
cons and take an informed decision
depending on their primary need.
Companies will need to ensure that applications are implemented
properly and incorporated to meet
the standards of privacy and security requirements.
When do you think IoT to be ready for the future?
IoT or M2M applications have been in play for quite sometime now
but they havent achieved their
true potential. Applications have been implemented in various
industries such as energy,
transportation, and healthcare.
The current approach of deploying M2M applications is
essentially vertical in nature and is not
scalable. For IoT to reach the scale, every global research
report predicts that a host of things need to
be in place such as device or sensor ecosystem, security and
privacy standards, scalable IoT or M2M
platform, domain applications, and content as well as
integration standards.
Is the CIO Role NearingExtinction?
New technologies are shifting
power to the hands of the
user, endangering the CIO
role. But do Indian CIOs
consider that a threat or an
opportunity?
Its Not About Doing Social, itsAbout Being Social
Vineet Gupta, MD, 22feet
Tribal Worldwide, a digital
marketing firm, shares why
organizations need to take
social media more seriously
and how they can leverage it to take their
businesses ahead.
Business Security RemainsUnthreatened by Wearable Tech
Indian CIOs speak about how
to
effectively handle wearable devices and
the potential security risks attached to it. With the
right plans in place, businesses will be able to
maximize the benefits and minimize its
drawbacks, they say.
App Development PromisesMassive Growth: Raju Vegesna,Zoho
Internet penetration and
Indian startups will act as a
catalyst in the area of building
industry-specific apps says
Raju Vegesna of Zoho. Security
remains the major concern.
