2 2 What is the Internet of Things? Different definitions Ubiquitous network societies anytime, anywhere, by anything and anyone Ubiquitous computing: The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it. Next Generation Networks: packet-based network able to provide telecommunication services and make use of multiple broadband [ ] transport technologies in which servicerelated functions are independent from underlying transport-related technologies

3 Today s and tomorrow s networks Today s PSTN network Circuit-switched. Limited mobility of end-user services. Vertical integration of application and call control layers, with dedicated networks. Non-responsive network. Next Generation Networks Packet-based, based on Internet Protocol (IP). Broad-based generalised mobility. Horizontally-integrated control layers, with simultaneous delivery of applications. Servicerelated functions independent of transportrelated technologies. NGN will be able to identify and adapt to user needs in real-time. 3 Source: ITU Internet Reports 2005: The Internet of Things
