Abstract
The products and standards developed as part of the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution allow small embedded devices to appear as regular Internet hosts, thereby becoming the "fingers of the Internet". The manufacturing sector is leading the way in adopting IoT technology, where it is being applied to energy management, building automation, and industrial process control. While most IoT solutions offer seamless integration into the Internet, many lack the reliability, security and low-power operation required by most applications. This can cause pilot deployments to exhibit poor performance and security vulnerabilities, eventually leading to an adoption rate of the IoT slower than anticipated. To answer this situation, IoT technology adopts techniques coming from industrial networking. The networks resulting from this convergence enable data to flow over a traditional IP-based infrastructure, but exhibiting wire-like reliability, ultra-low power consumption, and the highest level of security. The resulting "Internet of Important Things" enables the true fusion of the cyber and physical worlds. This presentation will show how the Internet of Important Things is a reality today. We will start by listing the challenges of building highly reliable and ultra low-power wireless mesh networks. We will then discuss the technologies which can answer this challenge, with a particular focus on channel hopping. We will illustrate this discussion through numerous examples taken from existing commercial products and deployments, and open-source implementations. We will end by introducing the work being done in the new IETF 6TiSCH working group, and highlight the associated open research problems.
