Is IoT business on track ?IoT plays a key role in connecting our physical world to a cyber physical system (CPS).
IoT business has a huge potential market, but its current market is limited. Why?

As an example , off-the-shelf IoT connectivity technologies such as BLE , ZigBee, LoRa are a major impediment to the
commercialization of the IoT ecosystem , which is unable to provide the required performance in a service environment

Key requirements for the “IoT connectivity”
- Self-networking in a very large scale with higt scalability.
- Reliable and energy-efficient operation even in the change of operational environments.
- Stable data transmission even in harsh operation environments.
- Security for the networking and data.
- Low cost for operation and maintenance.

IoT connectivity marketsMost of “loT connectivity” may require low-power short-range connectivity technologies such as ZigBee and BLE.

HB2200: The first solution for true massive IoT connectivity HB2200 SoC enables massive-scale loT networking in a plug-and-play mode, while providing backward-compatibility with ZigBee.

Comparison by performance : low-power, short-range loT technologies

hyBee provides a true “loT connectivity” for the commercial deployment of loT services
- Most of off-the-shelf “loT connecticity” SoCs (e.g., BLE, ZigBee or Z-Wave)
suffer from critical shortfalls when applied to commercial service environments. - HB2200 enables the construction of short-range, large-scale networks for loT services in a plug-and-play mode.
(e.g., commercial loT, industrial loT, logistics and automotive)
IoT networking technologies: Mesh vs. Tree structure
Mesh-structured networking
-
A technology for large-scale loT connectivity, but suffers from poor performance in practice.
- - No self-networking capability : All nodes should be networked manually.
- - Only small size networking of up to 30+ devices may be practical.
- - No robustness to the presence of co-channel interference.
- - Network scalability is very low : Add/deletion of nodes cannot be achieved easily.
- As a consequence, mesh-based technologies have been losing their market and position in large-scale loT services.
Tree-structured networking
- Another well-known technology for large-scale loT connectivity, but not practically matured yet.
-
hyBee’s technology truly makes it possible to construct tree-structured large-scale networks.
- - Large-scale self-networking of up to 2000+ nodes can be achieved in a plug-and-play mode.
- - Strong robustness to co-channel interference provides reliable networking performance.
- - Network scalability is very high : Add / deletion of nodes can be achieved easily.
- - Self- healing is fast achieved even in harsh operation environments.
