Today, billions of devices are Internet-connected, Io T standards and protocols are stabilizing, and technical professionals must increasingly solve real problems with Io T technologies. Now, five leading Cisco Io T experts present the first comprehensive, practical reference for making Io T work. Io T Fundamentals brings together knowledge previously available only in white papers, standards documents, and other hard-to-find sources-or nowhere at all. The authors begin with a high-level overview of Io T and introduce key concepts needed to successfully design Io T solutions. Next, they walk through each key technology, protocol, and technical building block that combine into complete Io T solutions. Building on these essentials, they present several detailed use cases, including manufacturing, energy, utilities, smart+connected cities, transportation, mining, and public safety. Whatever your role or existing infrastructure, you’ll gain deep insight what Io T applications can do, and what it takes to deliver them. Fully covers the principles and components of next-generation wireless networks built with Cisco IOT solutions such as IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.15.4-2015 (Mesh), and Lo Ra WAN Brings together real-world tips, insights, and best practices for designing and implementing next-generation wireless networks Presents start-to-finish configuration examples for common deployment scenarios Reflects the extensive first-hand experience of Cisco experts
