Standards
One daunting challenge that is being faced now is the lack of an Internet of Things standard. As IoT can consist of many different applications as well as communications capabilities, there will eventually be a wide range of standards, perhaps under a single framework. We will look at the current standards efforts by various bodies as well as the standards that currently apply to certain applications or implementations.
