A single market for the Internet of Things: Large Scale Pilots, AIOTIand standardisation

Achilleas KemosEuropean Commission - DG CONNECT

Programme Officer - EU Policies, Network Technologies

• The Internet of Things (IoT) is recognised as the next step of disruptive digital innovation. With the IoT, any physical and virtual object can become connected to other objects and to the Internet, creating a fabric of connectivity between things and between humans and things. 

Internet of Things in the Future

• Moreover, the IoT is considered gathering pace and unleashing a very disruptive potential. A recentstudy by IDC‐TXT for the European Commission estimates that the IoT market (hardware, software and services) in Europe will exceed one trillion euros by 2020.

Digital Single Market: IoT inside

DSM: IoT inside

• Telecom regulatory framework: roaming, net neutrality, spectrum

• Platforms• Trust and security and data protection• Data economy: free flow of data, allocation of

liability, ownership, interoperability, usability and access

• Interoperability and standardisation

DSM and Standardisation (SWD)

• The interoperability of new technologies implies effective interconnection between digital components like devices, networks or data repositories, in a mutually understood language. ICT standardisation has an essential role to play in increasing the interoperability of new technologies within the DSM.

Networked Society contextOpen and global nature of the Internet:

• open standards,• voluntary collaboration, • reusable building blocks, integrity, • permission-free innovation and • global reach,

• remarkable social and economic innovation

• Moving towards silos…

European ICT standardisation context

• European ICT standardisation strategy • necessity to anticipate the market• priority to strategic and achievable policy projects• clear and concerted business cases.

• EU Rolling Plan for ICT standardisation• Multi-stakeholders platform on ICT standardisation

• identify the needs in interoperability in support of the EU policies

• IoT: deemed to be critical to DSM

ETSI plugtests (EC Financial support)

• 6lo (IPv6 over Networks of Resource-constrained Nodes IETF) and

• 6TiSCH (IPv6 over Timeslotted Channel Hopping IETF). Timeslotted Channel Hopping – IEEE

• One m2m interoperability event

ETSI STF 505 (signed in October 2015)(Grant Agreement SA/ETSI/GROW/000/2015-02)

• Objectives: to analyse the status of current IoT

standardisation (including M2M, WoT initiatives) to assess the degree of industry and vertical

market fragmentation; to point towards actions that can increase the

effectiveness of IoT standardisation, to improve interoperability and to allow for the

building of IoT ecosystems.

ETSI STF 505 -Deliverables• Technical Report on Standards landscape for IoT and

identification of potential frameworks for interoperability (e.g. oneM2M)

• Technical Report on Identification of gaps and proposals on how to address them in standardisation

• Thematic workshop on Smart Home that will cover different LSP application domains such as Smart Living, eHealth, Wearables and Smart Cities (end of February 2016)

• Delivery workshop centred on the presentation of the STF results and their application by the winning LSP proposals (beginning of November 2016).

• Detailed final report for the European Commission

AIOTI WG3 - Standardisation• European Commission/AIOTI WORKSHOP • "IoT STANDARDISATION AND ARCHITECTURE",

Brussels 4 Nov 2015

• - IoT Landscape and IoT LSP Standard Framework Concepts, presenting the global dynamics and landscapes;

• - IoT High Level Architecture (HLA) that may be applicable to Large Scale Pilots. The HLA takes into account existing SDOs and alliances architecture specifications;

• - IoT Semantic interoperability recommendations for IoT LSPs.

Large Scale Pilots

• EU initiative in support of the deployment of IoT solutions, by enhancing their acceptability and adoption by users and citizens; and by fostering new market opportunities for EU suppliers.

• LSPs need a solid architectural framework • Need to influence standards maintenance and

evolution in a favourable direction that take into account the needs of their targeted verticals.
