Why IoT?
Why Open Source?
Why your Project?
Why IoT?
The IoT can potentially transform
nearly every industry to change the way
we live and work, locally and globally.

Why Open Source?
Faster Innovation
Better Quality / Security
Lower Business Risk
Lower Costs
Why your own IoT Project?
Its fun ! Play with Software
AND Hardware
Get your kids
excited
You will
learn a lot
Because you can
MQTT Protocol
What is MQTT?
MQTT is a Protocol for the IoT
Publish Subscribe
Open and Standardized
Simple
Efficient
Robust
MQTT is Open and Standardized
Open
Vendor Neutral, tons of Implementations
~ 20 Brokers: Mosquitto, Apache ActiveMQ,
~ 60 Clients: Arduino, C/C++, Java, Objective C,
Standardized
MQTT v3.1.1 is an OASIS Standard
MQTT is Simple
5 Protocol Verbs
connect
publish
subscribe
unsubscribe
disconnect
3 Callbacks
deliveryComplete
messageArrived
connectionLost
MQTT is Efficient
Broker
Can handle many 10k clients
Client
Small footprint (e.g. Java 147KB without JRE)
Receiving Messages (compared to HTTPS)
100x more messages
100x less energy
Sending Messages
10x more messages
10x less energy
MQTT is Robust
MQTT works for Networks with
Low bandwith
High latency
Unreliable
High cost per byte
Networks
Typically TCP
But also VSAT, GPRS, 2G.
