City

#Rural #UltraBroadband signals the end of a focus on #Cities instead #LiveSmart

One of the essential requirements for the IoT is integrated and distributed networks, until recently the only way possible to deliver this was either in cities with their high fidelity infrastructure or on a peer-to-peer mobile network using 4G. With the inception of recycled infrastructure by companies like Huawei and the deployment on 5G in 2020 cities cease to afford the benefits required to absorb the huge costs of their use.

The prediction of #Smart #Business is #Smarter not locating to a #SmartCity in 2016 by UbiNET CEO Karl Smith make the clear case of;

Why do we need cities?

They create centralization of people and resources however they also drive costs as often space is insufficient for demand. There is a huge dependency on the need for workspace, shops and local living accommodation.

Lets not buildSmart Cities, lets Live Smart instead

No City Smart Business

In a #SmartEconomy with people engaged in #SmartLiving people rely on digital communications not face to face engagements. Unless direct physical contact with another person is required for your job you don’t need to be physically present. Most work can be distributed to multiple locations across the planet. Even specialist surgeons can now work remotely and have been doing so for some time, even surgery can now be done through a physical / virtual interface.

Summary

The cost of creating Smart Cities is huge and relates to infrastructure for jobs and services that won’t be required in the mid term, they will not make a profit and may even not cover their cost of creation and installation.

The Smart solution is a distributed model not a centralized one

Creating these types of services takes a huge investment and without the confirmation of a captive customer base, it should be interesting to see how capital can be raised and who will take this risk.

UbiNET issues two cryptocurrencies the #ThingCoin and #UbiNET Token

As part of the platform development process for #SmartLiving UbiNET Inc. has launched two cryptocurrencies the ThingCoin and UbiNET Token. The two currencies work together within the platform to both secure identity and enable transactions.

thingcoin cryptocurrency coinUbiNET Token is the user access token for the UbiNET platform and ThingCoin is the transaction currency within UbiNET.

We have only issued a limited number of access tokens and transaction coins at this point to test the ecosystem and evolve a number of market propositions, say’s CEO and Chief Scientist Karl Smith

The UbiNET platform is reliant on several technologies including, micro sensors that use ambient power, blockchain, cryptocurrencies, 5G and artificial intelligence as defined in the Open Network Ecosystem Protocol patent and won’t launch until they are all aligned.

We have not ruled out an ICO to create the funding for a city state test of UbiNET but we want to be sure that investors gain a benefit before we move in that direction, we are reviewing several funding options at this stage but will continue to use our consultancy profits until real value can be offered to investors, say’s CEO Karl Smith

UbiNET Inc. has incorporated as a subsidiary of Agile World

Last week Agile World created a new subsidiary UbiNET Inc. set up as a stock corporation to support several funding rounds to deliver it’s global technology, data and service platform. This change in strategy is due to an over subscription for Series A investment which has created a focus on investors outcomes.

The formation of UbiNET Inc. will have no immediate impact on staffing and facilities but it is intended to focus R&D on the open network ecosystem protocol already filed at USPO.

The CEO of Agile World Karl Smith described this change as “it’s fundamental that we have the business structures in place to enable investors to have clarity around their participation” further “having worked in global M&A and with VC funded start-up’s, I recognise that a good idea needs to be supported by and understanding of how to facilitate investment, engagement and exit”.

Further details will be published here.

Karl Smith is an inventor of open network UbiNET which he has patented and a holistic transformation consultant more involved with how humans have to deal with technology than the technology itself. Karl Smith is also former Global Head of Mobility User Experience at Accenture and Partner (founder), Global Head of Digital Design at Wipro Digital, current Chairman of the Human Centered Design Society and has relaunched or launched Design as a USP in several global enterprises.

Karl has always been fascinated by how technology can augment the lives of humans, his desire was not to build things that humans already do but to find out how technology could evolve all human experience. He is still looking for the Gene Roddenberry future today where humanity pulls together and projects all of us the next stage of evolution. Transformation is at core of this evolution; he’s highly engaged in Ubiquity or the IoT as it is a gateway point.

#IoT3 #SmartTechnologies to #SmartLiving

Trajectory from Smart Technologies to IoT Ecosystem and on to Smart Living

Something few people have grasped yet is that to get from Smart Technologies to Smart Living (Ubiquity) is a progression, not just in sensors, networks and device thinking, but also in ecosystem and task (to discern if they are even relevant not just the form of them) thinking. As with every other revolution not only does time and people change the meaning of the revolution they also change the trajectory.

At the Global 5G Test Summit at MWC17 in Barcelona the panel was asked what services will 5G bring, extend or establish as the killer services, quite rightly the panel answered that the key services of 4G were not known until the network capability was in place and they evolved by adoption, not by strategy alone.

Three Stages of IoT Evolution

IoT Smart Technologies, #IoT1

Smart Technologies relates to limited networks of control actions, sensors and rules setting devices around a small number of tasks, specific locations or limited markets. They can be added to relatively easily but ultimately can’t manage a whole ecosystem, without replacement. An example would be managing home based utilities; there are already many systems that manage, heating, lighting and security in one system. These systems don’t manage the whole home and all the tasks in a home, so don’t manage the Home Ecosystem. They are also restricted to non complex tasks that that have binary or stepped rules for controlling tasks. For example setting the heating times, temperature, managing lighting, responding to a proximity alert for security, that can be locally or remotely set and observed.

IoT Closed Ecosystems, #IoT2

Closed Ecosystem IoT relates to a fully integrated system of several types of network including machine to machine M2M, machine to human M2H and machine to data system M2D through an application gateway. Additionally these networks provide pre-connected and situational relationships dependent upon tasks, locations and users. An example would be a Home Ecosystem, again as this is the most likely location to get investment at this point in human society.

All possible actions and interactions within a home, including disallow rules (security and safety), policies related to sensors and personal ecosystems are defined and can be added to by users with the correct rights (on matters of safety for example only Parents would have the rights to set safety rules). Every sensor device (item group made from many items with a micro sensor), task (with an outcome) and activity (outcome not essential), item (everything not an item group or a device) can be included in the ecosystem. Personal ecosystems (personal avatar plus id, agenda, voice print, payment), location ecosystems (kitchen, living room, garden etc.) and an Adoption / Attribution Ecosystem (to manage purchase, transit and adoption).

An example of a task would be, an item group close to arrival (washing machine), then arrives, the Home Ecosystem advises a Parent Ecosystem of arrival through audible or voice alert, the Parent working in the garden greets the delivery vocally while remaining in current location and opens the door. The delivery staff enter the property, confirm they are fitting the item group, when it is connected the House Ecosystem sends a request to the Parent Ecosystem, “diagnostics good, adopt?” the Parent says “Adopt”, the House add the item group to the Kitchen and Parent ecosystems and the House Ecosystem “Owned, Working, Value” and updates the Insurance provider, the fitters get a message Adopted and then leave. The Parent rates their service. While this is a simplified view and there are several other M2M processes that happen it shows that a closed Home Ecosystem enables the simplification of process and the ability for remote management of otherwise time consuming and stressful tasks.

IoT Smart Living, Open Ecosystems, UbiNET #IoT3

Open Ecosystem IoT is an evolution of IoT2 that enables an end to end lifecycle management of all items and item groups from material, through creation, use, disposal and recycling. It is not vested in Home only but also in Communities, States, Nations, Internationally and at Planet Level. It fundamentally changes our interactions, behaviors and relationship to work, institutions like banks and security.

#SmartLiving Payment Scenario – while having a coffee with a friend in their house a person sees a nice bowl and says, ‘buy bowl’. Their personal network checks the area and finds three bowls (items), it asks ‘white bowl’ the person says ‘Yes’ the bowl is ordered based upon the person’s personal preference which could be Speed, Price, Color or anything else, for this scenario it’s Speed the Protocol locates the nearest supplier and orders it for immediate delivery. The person carries on chatting and the bowel is delivered to their home and is waiting for when they get home. Payment is automated, they unpack look at the bowel and say, ‘Great Condition’ and feedback allocated is allocated to the carrier, the product and the supplier.

#SmartLiving Recycling Scenario – an item lifecycle is monitored from creation to recycling items that are not recycled retain a relationship with their last individual or other (structure like business or organisation) if should be but not recycled that relationship informs state and national law enforcement.

#SmartLiving Ownership Scenario – when an item is purchased it becomes added to several new ecosystems, individual, family, community, state and nation (if bought outside individual’s country of origin) advising national law enforcement of their status.

#SmartLiving Advance Security Scenario – items that are not recognized as being part of an ecosystem may not join one. Without full lifecycle data, the item will be considered to have no value, fraudulent or stolen. By using an inverse data analysis, a home or other place can detect a person that has no recognizable items and consider them a threat. They will not be allowed access and become the focus of Law Enforcement.
