N3 Asset Network Vision – The Internet of Things
Think about that cell phone device that everyone has.
A decade from now everything will have a Smart Agent device.
We are standing on the brink of the third digital communication age. The first was the telecom age, which enabled global voice communication anywhere, anytime. The second is the age of the Internet where information has become readily available, frequently for free, to anyone with access to a computer or a cell phone. The proliferation of both telecommunications and the Internet occurred due to the combination of technology and affordability, which lowered the entry barrier for billions of people across the globe.
We are standing at the edge of the third age that will bridge the last physical gap between things (inanimate objects, physical assets) and the existing global communication infrastructure. These new asset networks will allow sensor-enabled physical objects — appliances in your home, products in a factory and cars in a city — to talk to one another, to people or to computers.
The impact of the first two ages on our life is phenomenal. They changed the way we live, work and play. Now imagine how our lives would change if all things could communicate in the same manner that people communicate over the internet. This emerging asset network technology has been dubbed the Internet of Things and was named one of the "Best Inventions of 2008" by Time Magazine.
This is not the future though - it is happening today. New asset networks are emerging at an increasing pace all around the globe, mainly driven by commercial and government enterprises seeking to reduce costs, gain agility, improve security and facilitate their decision making processes.
Precyse Technologies is uniquely positioned to provide the technology, the knowledge and the economic model to enable the rapid growth of the Internet of Things.
