Internet of Things – IoT
The IoT conundrum was addressed by Intel v-p Philip Moynagh at the European Nanoelectronics Forum in Cannes this morning.
“IoT”, said Moynagh, “is going to cause extraordinary levels of disruption.”
He put forward the example of a fab, with all the equipment connected, as being the most sophisticated IoT system on the planet.
But why, asked Electronics Weekly, would anyone want to connect a fab to the Internet where terrorists and hackers could disrupt it?
Moynagh agreed that it would be stupid to connect a fab to the public Internet. Intel’s fabs are not connected to the public Internet but are closed private systems – what Moynagh called a ‘private internet’.
This is where all IoT discussions fall down. If factory automation, something that has been commonplace for half a century, can be described as IoT, then anything can be.
But if IoT is to mean anything, it has to mean things which are connected to the Internet.
And no one wants their fab or their smart city system to be connected to the Internet where terrorists and hackers can disrupt them.
IoT could indeed cause ‘extraordinary levels of disruption’ but not the kind of disruption which Moynagh meant.
