Benefits for business, industry and society Advances in low power electronics, communications standards, and increased efficiencies in battery technologies have heralded a new era for IoT. Power efficient, inexpensive devices with a long range of communication are available off the shelf, allowing all sizes of businesses and organisations, in all types of sectors, to design and implement an IoT solution. IoT enables organisations to have greater visibility into aspects of their businesses that may have previously been hidden. This valuable information, often available in real-time, has a multitude of business benefits. Efficiency Better use of time speeds up processes Safety People exposed to less hazardous environments Productivity Identify and eliminate process errors Profitability Cost savings and increased productivity leads to increased profitability IoT Benefits Society Monitoring for health and social care Environment Pollution levels, air quality, flooding alerts Compliance New and more effective ways to monitor and report compliance requirements Innovation New products and service opportunities or new markets Business intelligence Allowing gathering of data to make better decisions to benefit the organisation Security Any device connected to the internet may be vulnerable to attack, and IoT devices are no different. It is essential that each device is properly protected with security designed in from the initial concept of an IoT project. Secure protocols should be put in place and rigorous testing carried out before use. The UK is investigating a plan to increase cyber security across consumer IoT devices with requirements from manufacturers to build in security features and label devices so consumers have information about how secure their devices are. UK Government cyber security information: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/secure-by-design For more cyber security information go to: censis.org.uk Studies show that with improved security, businesses would not only buy more IoT devices, they would pay 22% more for them. The IoT cyber security market is forecast to grow to around $11 billion by 2025 1 . 1 Bain & Company ‘Cybersecurity is the Key to Unlocking Demand in the Internet of Things.

IoT in action Since 2016, multiple IoT networks have been rolling out across Scotland, laying the groundwork for businesses, societies and individuals to create IoT efficiencies, services and products. These networks cover Low-Power Long-Range Networks that enable lower cost connectivity and open up a host of new and exciting use cases. Cellular networks also have an important part to play in the IoT revolution with new IoT standards emerging that will form an important part of the upcoming 5G offering. These new communication infrastructures will be the backbone of new application development. Impacts from IoT activities will be widespread and will affect every aspect of our lives. As well as consumer, retail, personal health and societal benefits, industry will apply IoT to critical infrastructures such as manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, healthcare and utilities. Within Scotland, there is a rich heritage of companies developing sensor products, and the move into connecting these products is a natural evolution of the technology. The Scottish technology development and manufacturing landscape is well capable of exploring, designing, building, certifying and manfacturing technology to achieve worldwide scale. We want Scotland to be recognised internationally as a natural test bed for innovation in connectivity which is why we are investing in our digital infrastructure.
