Below are a few quotes and comments from today’s CES 2016 Internet of Things (IoT) discussion:

  • Steve Brumer – 151 Advisors
    • “Insanely bigger, wider and deeper than ever before”
    • “Not a lot of people know how to make money in IoT”
    • “Virtual reality was material theme”
    • “Refused to go to external hotels for meetings. Focused on the exhibition center and the AT&T Developers Conference”
    • “Uber was a fantastic way to get around Vegas”
    • “AT&T has done an amazing job building smart city ecosystems and partnerships – similar to what carriers are doing in Asia
  • Chris Hare, nTeTe Group
    • “Vegas and CES can’t cope with anymore growth”
    • “Woke up and realized I was at a car show”
    • “27,000 versions of fit bits”
    • “Lots of people throwing IoT products against the wall to see what will stick”
    • “Industrial IoT appears to be leading the way in terms of viable business plans”
    • “Spent very little time on the convention floor”
    • “One SIM card and one carrier relationship are increasingly important for carriers and industrial IoT players”
  • Sean Kinney, RCR Wireless News
    • “Only 358 days until CES 2017 – mark your calendar”
    • “Wearables moving towards services that deliver meaningful and insight value to consumers”
    • “AT&T is connecting their digital home applications with their connected car “Drive” application
    • “Would not be surprised to see autonomous vehicle adoption being focused on fleet applications”
  • Other key themes include:
    • Distributed IoT architectures and computing activity by chip companies like Intel and Mediatek will include security at the chip level
    • IoT gateway product companies were touting security and encryption. Six months ago, security was behind the gateway; whereas, the trend today seems to be moving towards integrating the security into the gateway.
