The IoT is all about sensors

Rambus Blog, May. 18, 2015 – 

Steve Taylor, a senior consultant at The Technology Partnership (TTP), recently recommended that semiconductor companies turn their attention to the Internet of Sensors (IoS). According to Taylor, it?s actually the Internet of Sensors and resulting data that matters most.

"The Internet of Things (IoT) is, to a large extent, a solution looking for a problem, rather than the other way round," he explained. "There?s simply no point in objects talking to each other just for the sake of it and the IoT only provides the communications backbone."

In contrast, says Taylor, the Internet of Sensors looks more like the roots of a tree, with sensors of all types at the extremities, capturing and feeding data upwards to the main trunk - the Internet.
