IoT and Edge Computing for Architects: Implementing edge and IoT systems from sensors to clouds with communication systems, analytics, and security

Create scalable IoT and edge computing solutions with practical architectural strategies, robust communication protocols, and integrated analytics support for informed decision-makingKey FeaturesBuild robust IoT and edge computing systems using real-world architectural strategiesExplore a comprehensive range of technologies—from sensors and RF to cloud infrastructure and analyticsGain the insights needed to make informed technical decisions across communication protocols, security, and system designBook DescriptionIndustries are embracing IoT technologies to improve operational expenses, product life, and people's well-being. An architectural guide is needed if you want to traverse the spectrum of technologies needed to build a successful IoT system, whether that's a single device or millions of IoT devices.IoT and Edge Computing for Architects, 2E encompasses the entire spectrum of IoT solutions, from IoT sensors to the cloud. It examines modern sensor systems, focusing on their power and functionality. It also looks at communication theory, paying close attention to near-range PAN, including the new Bluetooth® 5.0 specification and mesh networks. Then, the book explores IP-based communication in LAN and WAN, including 802.11ah, 5G LTE cellular, Sigfox, and LoRaWAN. It also explains edge computing, routing and gateways, and their role in fog computing, as well as the messaging protocols of MQTT 5.0 and CoAP.With the data now in internet form, you'll get an understanding of cloud and fog architectures, including the OpenFog standards. The book wraps up the analytics portion with the application of statistical analysis, complex event processing, and deep learning models. The book then concludes by providing a holistic view of IoT security, cryptography, and shell security in addition to software-defined perimeters and blockchains.What you will learnUnderstand the role and scope of architecting a successful IoT deploymentScan the landscape of IoT technologies, from sensors to the cloud and moreSee the trade-offs in choices of protocols and communications in IoT deploymentsBecome familiar with the terminology needed to work in the IoT spaceBroaden your skills in the multiple engineering domains necessary for the IoT architectImplement best practices to ensure reliability, scalability, and security in your IoT infrastructureWho this book is forThis book is for architects, system designers, technologists, and technology managers who want to understand the IoT ecosphere, technologies, and trade-offs, and develop a 50,000-foot view of IoT architecture.
