Create scalable IoT and edge computing solutions with practical architectural strategies, robust communication protocols, and integrated analytics support for informed decision-making
Key Features:
– Build robust IoT and edge computing systems using real-world architectural strategies
– Explore a comprehensive range of technologies-from sensors and RF to cloud infrastructure and analytics
– Gain the insights needed to make informed technical decisions across communication protocols, security, and system design
Book Description:
Industries are embracing IoT technologies to improve operational expenses, product life, and people’s well-being. An architectural guide is needed if you want to traverse the spectrum of technologies needed to build a successful IoT system, whether that’s a single device or millions of IoT devices.
IoT and Edge Computing for Architects, 2E encompasses the entire spectrum of IoT solutions, from IoT sensors to the cloud. It examines modern sensor systems, focusing on their power and functionality. It also looks at communication theory, paying close attention to near-range PAN, including the new Bluetooth(R) 5.0 specification and mesh networks. Then, the book explores IP-based communication in LAN and WAN, including 802.11ah, 5G LTE cellular, Sigfox, and LoRaWAN. It also explains edge computing, routing and gateways, and their role in fog computing, as well as the messaging protocols of MQTT 5.0 and CoAP.
With the data now in internet form, you’ll get an understanding of cloud and fog architectures, including the OpenFog standards. The book wraps up the analytics portion with the application of statistical analysis, complex event processing, and deep learning models. The book then concludes by providing a holistic view of IoT security, cryptography, and shell security in addition to software-defined perimeters and blockchains.
What You Will Learn:
– Understand the role and scope of architecting a successful IoT deployment
– Scan the landscape of IoT technologies, from sensors to the cloud and more
– See the trade-offs in choices of protocols and communications in IoT deployments
– Become familiar with the terminology needed to work in the IoT space
– Broaden your skills in the multiple engineering domains necessary for the IoT architect
– Implement best practices to ensure reliability, scalability, and security in your IoT infrastructure
Who this book is for:
This book is for architects, system designers, technologists, and technology managers who want to understand the IoT ecosphere, technologies, and trade-offs, and develop a 50,000-foot view of IoT architecture. An understanding of the architectural side of IoT is necessary.

Excellent resource. As someone indicated, there is a significant focus on the network details but given the topic, I think that’s fair. Recommended for people who already have solid IT experience and want to understand more about IoT and Edge Computing.

Chiunque lavori nel’IoT dovrebbe leggere questo libro.

The author does an excellent job breaking down the necessary components that are relevant to the IoT industry. Could an architect, engineer or technical manager get this information from the web? Yes, but the author saves your valuable time by covering a large breadth of technical knowledge at just the right (to me) detail needed to make decisions. An excellent balance of topics covered and just the right detail.
My only nit-pick are the graphic illustrations. They are somewhat low quality and inconsistent, but they are useful to gaining understanding of the specific topics.
Overall, as a 30+ year computer engineer, manager, director and VP, I highly recommend this book and look forward to future updates.

The book looks very good. However I was surprised that it did not come with plastic inside the cardboard, what damaged a little bit the book and makes me wonder if it was really new.
