Deconstructing The Myths That Surround The Internet Of Things

IoT

myths that surround the internet of things
20 Nov 2018

App development companies that are looking to take that all important next step forward will often look towards the Internet of Things as a means of assistance. Now that the Internet of Things has become a truly integral aspect of our lives, app development companies that wish to make a name for themselves need to be able to separate fact from fiction.
 
This is obviously one of the hotter topics in the world of mobile app development and that is why mobile app development companies need to keep their heads on a swivel. Let's take a closer look at some of the myths that have been allowed to persist thus far so that they can finally be dispelled once and for all.
 
It is Limited To Certain Machines
While there are certain aspects of the Internet of Things that are closely related to machine to machine data movement (also known as M2M), app development companies can take solace in the fact that they are not going to be limited to this form of data movement. Remote monitoring is typically required when the Internet of Things is in use. This is where mobile app development companies come into play. Apps are typically used as a means of controlling the items are communicating with a host.
 
Every Single Device Can Work Together

Some people have a certain image in their head when it comes to the Internet of Things. They believe that they can magically keep all of their items connected to each other without worry or fear. In reality, every single device is not going to work together in perfect harmony. The devices that work best when the IoT is being used will usually exist in their own walled off "garden". The devices will also need to be derived from the same vendor if they are going to work properly.
 
There Are No Standards To Worry About 
There is a very bizarre myth when it comes to the Internet of Things that have been allowed to grow some serious legs. Mobile app development companies that allow themselves to believe these myths often find themselves under the impression that there are no actual standards to worry about. On the contrary, there are certain standards for the Internet of Things that need to be met. While there is no singular, overarching standard, there are still communication and wireless protocols that must be followed. 
 
These Products Do Not Take Much Experience To Deliver
When a vendor is in the process of selling their various solutions, they want the world to believe that they do not need very much experience in order to capitalize on this market. In order for these devices to work properly with their chosen applications, experienced mobile app development companies are required. There is a wide range of issues that a designer is going to need to be able to solve along the way. Experience is very necessary.
 
Every Company Has The Same Point of View
One of the more common myths that have been allowed to circulate has to do with the point of view that certain companies take when it comes to the Internet of Things. For some reason, there is this prevailing idea that every company has the exact same point of view when it comes to the Internet of Things. However, you could ask a few different companies for their point of view and receive a few different things. The Internet of Things has not been around long enough for any prevailing point of view to take over.
 
Lack of User Privacy
There are many who have an overly futuristic view of the Internet of Things. They view these types of systems as a free for all that is waiting to happen and they are unsure as to how the user's privacy is going to be protected. Some even confuse privacy for security (we're about to cover that) but there is a difference between the privacy that an individual needs to enjoy and the privacy that an organization enjoys. Mobile app development companies must be fully aware of it.
 
Lack of Organizational Security
User privacy and organizational security are not one and the same. The user's information must always remain protected, of course. However, organizational security is a completely different topic. While there are bound to be organizational security concerns when the Internet of Things is being used, these concerns are being addressed as time goes on. The devices can be attacked remotely but this is not a serious concern. Hardware based security support can be implemented.
 
Reliability Is Far Fetched

These myths are incredibly similar to the myths that were discussed above. This is why custom mobile app developers mobile app development companies need to take the proper time and care when they are trying to implement their software. All of the software that is designed for Internet of Things usage needs to be designed with the same level of care. This is especially important when it comes to the software that is being shared between peers. There are different versions that will be used by each client and they must all be free of bugs. 
 
It Is All About Wireless Connectivity 
The Internet of Things will work in a variety of ways and the idea that it is all about wireless connectivity and little else is erroneous. Mobile app development companies need to bear this important lesson in mind. The devices that are used by the Internet of Things do not rely strictly on wireless connectivity. USB and Ethernet can also be used and these connections can be transient in nature.
 
This Is All Just a Ruse Perpetrated By Big Data
Some believe that the Internet of Things is only being used by those who wish to steal our data. Since we are going to be using the Internet of Things on a constant basis, it only makes sense for our information to be uploaded in areas where it can theoretically be aggregated. However, this is not a requirement and users of IoT devices are given the chance to protect their data as needed. The same goes for those who utilize mobile apps that are related to these devices.
