IPv6 - The Future of Internet of Things (IoT)
Quote:
With IPv6, the Internet is positioned for the future, where connected devices are not just computers, but also machines (sensors, actuators, controllers) interacting directly with other machines, without human intervention, on a broad scale over the Internet—the Internet of Things (IoT). The immense number of IP addresses lays the foundation to realize billions of connected devices. Yet another significant challenge remains: these billions of devices need to be powered and to communicate. For mobile application, such as seamless cold chain monitoring, powering with cables is impossible, and batteries require monitoring and replacement. Energy harvesting is rapidly becoming recognized as an essential ingredient to overcome this obstacle, a perfect catalyst to the Internet of Things.
