Abstract
The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) is not exactly a novelty, even if it has not burst out yet with all the force that the market expected. The 5th generation of mobile telephony (5G) is rushing to deploy in the midst of a real trade war, and intends to get one’s own way on this and others fronts. This paper analyses how to overcome the challenges of an IoT deployment, which can be too complex to fulfil its promise of massification and ubiquity. This analysis is primarily intended to identify whether 5G will be the key to a current IoT deployment in all contexts, or whether it is wise to pursue other development paths first.
Highlights
All the current development of communication technologies has been oriented mainly to communication between people, new trends are encouraging machines and devices to connect massively, giving rise to Internet of Things (IoT)
The second level is the "IoT gateway" or gateway, which includes the hardware and software components that serve as a connection point between the cloud and the controllers, sensors and intelligent devices
The 5G is intended for this purpose, and its architecture has been redesigned by up to 36% to support the news requirements
