Cloud Microservices, Containers, Docker and Kubernetes
Firstly let define what each of these terms mean. Microservices are a software development technique—a variant of the service-oriented architecture (SOA) architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services for example routing network traffic, or making an online payment. A Microservices architecture helps build an application as a suite of […]
Mobile Internet of Things – LTE-M and NB-IoT
Mobile (cellular) IoT technology is becoming a major player in the IoT space. Mobile Internet of Things refers to low power wide area (LPWA) 3GPP standardised secure operator managed IoT networks in the licensed spectrum (GSMA definition). The 2 complementary licensed 3GPP standards: Long-Term Evolution for Machines (LTE-M) and Narrowband-Internet of Things (NB-IoT) are the […]
Machine Learning (ML) algorithms
ML is a complex subject to get your head around, especially the terminology and mathematical methods employed in analytics. You will need to understand what your requirements are. For example, if its for fraud prevention then the classification technique can be used, if its for real time decisions Reinforcement Learning is generally used, if its […]
Cloud technology enabling IoT and ML
The big names in the cloud computing industry like IBM Watson, Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS and Google Cloud AI all have cloud services specifically tailored for Machine Learning AI or in cloud terminology MLaaS and the Internet of Things. Microsoft Azure and others support bidirectional communication with your IoT devices through a gateway and Azure IoT […]
Internet of Things communications protocols
There are a number of communication protocols at the physical and access network stage which can be used for transmitting data from IoT devices depending on the requirements. A mapping showing a few of these protocols using the TCP/IP model: Some of the protocols for IoT device network access & physical transmission are LPWAN – […]
Machine Learning AI, IoT and Cloud technology
Artificial Intelligence achieved through Machine Learning algorithms and its subset Deep Learning are some of the latest techno buzzes along with IoT or Internet of Things and Cloud technology. They are 3 connected technologies, the data the sensors and devices collect is used in machine learning AI and the cloud enables all this through is vast […]
