• Privacy issues - The possibility of tracking and surveillance of people by government and private
agencies increases as the devices are constantly connected to the internet.
• These devices collect user data without their permission, analyse them for purposes only known
to the parent company. The social embrace of the IOT devices leads people to trust these devices
with collection of their personal data without understanding the future implications.
• Have you ever had a shipment of expensive temperature-sensitive prescription drugs sent to your home?
What if the container was opened allowing the contents to increase in temperature and you weren’t
absolutely sure how high of a temperature and for how long the medicine had been exposed to?
• Cold-chain management, which is a form of asset tracking, entails all of the means used to ensure a
constant temperature for a product from the time it is manufactured or farmed until it is used or consumed.
These are just some of the industries involved:
• The 2.4 GHz band became very popular because it is allowed for
unlicensed use in all regions.
• Most of the usable spectrum in most regions is designated as licensed,
i.e., users need to buy a license from the local regulator to operate a
radio transmitter in a designated frequency channel. A familiar
example for licensed frequency bands use is cellular communication
• Even with improved batteries and green sources like solar and wind, just meeting the
demand will be difficult. However, add issues like the wasted energy and pollutants,
and powering the IoT could become a major social problem in its own right within
the next decade.

• IoT Protocols
• There are lots of languages or protocols emerging suited
to the IoT, from traditional Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to newly
defined LoraWAN™ and Sigfox.
• Each is suited to different uses dependant on several key
factors:
• Data Rate – How much information is being sent?
• Power Consumption – For example wearables only have
a small amount of battery life?
• Range – Does it need to be transmitted a few meters or a
few kilometres?
• Frequency – What frequencies are available to use in the
region?
