IoT and Edge Computing for Architects: Implementing edge and IoT systems from sensors to clouds with communication systems, analytics, and security

by Perry Lea

Learn to design, implement, and secure your IoT infrastructure. Revised and expanded for edge computing. 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, Second Edition 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® 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. 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.

Who this book is for?
This book is intended for architects, system engineers, academics, program managers, students, and engineering directors intent on understanding the nuances of a well-designed IoT and edge system.

In this book, you will learn how interconnected each component is as a system. This covers telecommunications and radio signaling, embedded systems, long-range communication, network protocols, edge and cloud frameworks, holistic security, and cloud machine learning.
There is a lot of technical information about different protocols and how they worked that I think I was not necessary. I think as an architecture we don’t need this kind of details. We just must know about how to use it and their restrictions.
Anyway, book is so insightful and gives you a lot of information but it is not so practical. It is a general book about IOT that talks about everything.
