Internet das coisas: desafios, aspirações e a realidade no Brasil

Abstract

The present monograph sought to address the challenges, aspirations and current stage of the Internet of Things, or IoT (Internet of Things) in Brazil and how this new emerging market has an impact on telecommunications companies. The internet is undoubtedly one of the greatest inventions of mankind. In a few decades, an exclusive tool for military use has become an instrument of social globalization. Thousands of gigabytes of data are transferred per minute across the network and that number tends to increase with the exponential growth of IoT. In this context, the essential elements for the development of solutions in IoT were explored. The overall objective was to identify the challenges for the safe implementation and expectation of this emerging market vis-à-vis the Brazilian reality. Along with this, the specific objectives, methodology and research were outlined. The theoretical framework presented the concepts of internet, internet of things, big data, privacy, role of operators and technologies for IoT communication. The development took place in two phases: the first exploratory, aimed at deepening the problem, and another descriptive, where it was possible to draw a parallel between the critical analysis and the theoretical one to identify the existence of relations between the variables.
