Suddenly, like a spring night, "Internet of Things companies" are everywhere. The Internet of Things has become an emerging industry that “turns its hands into clouds and overwrites rain” overnight. According to estimates, the Internet of Things will be the next trillion-dollar market after the Internet, and its output value may be 30 times larger than the Internet.

The rise of a new industry is enough to impulse the starters, but it is also accompanied by unknown risks. The Internet of Things is at the beginning of the industry, and a clear pattern of industrial applications is often more important than hurrying on the road. From concept to application, what is the lack of today's Internet of Things?

Unified standard fusion "island"

The standardization of the Internet of Things seems to be an old-fashioned problem, but as long as we talk about the Internet of Things, we will inevitably mention standardization. The inconsistency of standards is restricting the development of the Internet of Things. "Without a unified standard, we can't scale applications," he said. The future of the Internet of Things is focused on the application of industrialization and standardization. The application of industrialization is the core of the development of the Internet of Things, and standardization is the core of industrialization.

The Internet of Things is a large network with multiple devices, multiple networks, multiple applications, interconnections, and interconnections. The related interfaces, communication protocols, and so on all require a unified standard to guide them. At present, the Internet of Things of each region has its own standards, many standards, and lack of authority, which leads to difficult interoperability of different Internet of Things projects, becoming an “island”. To give a simple example, there are dozens of standard organizations in the world that have a small RFID fingernail size gadget. There are 250 standards worldwide, and the standard of more than 20,000 sensors around the world can be imagined.

A unified standard is crucial to the development of the Internet of Things. Not only can the success stories of demonstration applications being carried out in various regions be effectively replicated in other regions, but also expanded. In addition, it can effectively integrate information islands and integrate resource chains. This avoids resource consumption caused by duplicate construction to a certain extent and improves efficiency.

Demand for services has forced business applications to move closer to the "Internet of Things," making it possible for scenes that previously only appeared in sci-fi films to be staged in our real life.

Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications has used its own advantages to start exploring and trying out the business model of the Internet of Things, making the dream a reality. It is understood that the school has established an integrated information service platform based on the concept of a smart service store. It involves a series of online smart service applications such as smart campus, smart home, energy conservation and environmental protection, intelligent transportation, peace and emergency, smart agriculture, and smart tourism.

The challenge of information security is reappearing Today, people are planning a variety of beautiful blueprints for the Internet of Things. However, there are many difficulties and challenges that are inevitable.

The security issue is a problem that needs attention in the development of the Internet of Things. One can not let people use the peace of mind, rest assured that the industry will inevitably encounter the bottleneck of development. Some people said that the Internet of Things can connect home washing machines, televisions, shredders, electric lights, microwave ovens, etc., and can be operated remotely through the Internet, but the threats will follow. Hackers can launch attacks on refrigerators through the Internet of Things and may even affect other electrical products. All this has increased the scope and difficulty of people controlling cyber security.

The convenience of access to various types of information and data also makes privacy protection issues more prominent. We are in a world where data can transform our lives, and the Internet of Things will create a huge information and data platform that integrates all walks of life. Compared with the Internet of Things platform, social networking platforms like Facebook can only be regarded as pediatrics. Through the Internet of Things, a large amount of information may be acquired by a special purpose person or organization and used. How to ensure that the privacy of the owner of the label is not infringed, and how to ensure the security of data stored by people on the Internet of Things platform will become a problem in the future promotion of the Internet of Things.
