The terminal lighting of the Internet of things will be the best vehicle (1)

The advent of the era of intelligent guidance: in recent years, everyone is talking about IoT (IOT) technology, such as the Gartner IoT forecast market will reach $25 billion 10 million in 2020, the total installed number will reach 26 billion units, thus bringing many visions of the future, including intelligent buildings, industrial automation, smart city, smart lighting smart grid, intelligent medical, but these are not evenly distributed in you around me, these are usually in a country or region, must have strong demand (such as electricity, high cost) will occur earlier.

Internet of things terminal component lighting will be the best carrier

Smart home in the United States is more developed, because the United States living area is large, when watching TV, if the clothes are washed, the coffee is cooked, it will display a notification message on smart tv. Through the home of the Router will be connected to all appliances, constitute a network, you can create intelligent life.

However, how to link all the items, the practice of each field is not the same. To quote from the home of the IoT architecture, including the terminal (perception) layer + Network + application layer. One of the terminal components, must cover the perception + operation + networking, is considered to have the basic capabilities of IoT terminal device. The position of the LED lights, is the terminal component, you can MCU, sensors, wireless chips, power supply and other components into the LED chip or on the lamp.

Components of the brain, that is, MCU, if placed in the lighting, only a small amount of computing speed (50MHz) and memory capacity (32KB) is sufficient. Component networking capabilities, there are different levels of different distance (from the smallest to the largest, a total of BAN, CAN, PAN, HAN, SAN, LAN, MAN, NAN, WAN, GAN). The application of the network specification is also different because of different data / transmission power (such as smart home application Z-Wave / Bluetooth / ZigBee), because of different orders of magnitude need different architectures (such as Wi-Fi).

Terminals are Smart, where to put it? Where is a vehicle that can cover all human activities? The answer is: lighting! Because bulbs or lamps can be seen everywhere. That is the "light" everywhere (such as living room, kitchen, corridors, offices and factories, classrooms, streets, buildings, and lamps, metropolis) will be connected on Power (power), can do the most of the applications, so is the most suitable place into various Smart elements, of course, the lamp itself is made of Smart Device it will be better.
