DVI Communications Launches New IoT Practice for Security, Energy & Health-Care Applications

New York, New York, April 13, 2016 (Newswire.com) - DVI Communications Inc. announces the launch of a new "Internet of Things" (IoT) Practice, headed by Daniel Minoli, Principal Consultant at the firm.  The IoT embeds sensors and actuators in objects in the physical world, wirelessly interconnecting these objects with built-in data collection software with centralized IT data analysis systems to provide monitoring, control, surveillance, ambiance intelligence, system decision-making, and remote action control.

Many observers have stated that the Internet of Things promises to be the most disruptive technology since the advent of the World Wide Web.  Projections indicate that up to 100 billion uniquely identifiable objects will be connected to the Internet by 2020 [some say a trillion devices by 2025].   With enormous technical, socioeconomic, political consequences, re-instrumenting the physical world is going to be transformative and this technology's potential impact "spans almost half of the global economy" and could "drive the next wave of innovation for the world." (General Electric, 2013).

"Mr. Minoli is an accomplished leader who brings critical skills to the IoT Practice we have launched, with many years of technical-hands-on and managerial experience in planning, designing, deploying, and operating secure IP/IPv6, wireless-, satellite, and video networks for global Best-In-Class carriers and financial companies. Mr. Minoli was already working on IoT-type telemetry, home automation, and cloud services and applications in the late 1980s while at Bellcore, (now Ericsson), and has continued to track and develop the technology over the years."

Ben Occhiogrosso, President and Co-Founder

IoT applications include energy optimization and conservation; energy harvesting and recycling; fine-tuned building-management-systems and enhanced security capabilities.   Healthcare, transportation logistics, smart grids, 'smart cities' and 'smart buildings' are the initial targeted applications. A whole range of off-the-shelf wireless technologies are applicable to the IoT, including well-known Bluetooth links, Wi-Fi links, 4G cellular links, and Body Area Network technologies such as ZigBee.

DVI Communications can guide both enterprise users and service providers to take advantage of this rapidly-evolving technology and prepare their networks, network elements (such as routers, firewalls, edge-devices, and smart appliances), and Big Data systems to deal with, and in fact thrive under the avalanche of new smart end-points and traffic that will be generated.  The firm is well positioned to help stakeholders in the surveillance, home automation, e-health, low-power lighting, and smart-energy industries design, plan, and deploy loT-enabled systems and their cyber security overlays.

Mr. Jim Gleason, Director of Business Development at DVI tracks the IoT business opportunities in the carrier, service provider, Big Data analytics, and e-health/consumer products space, and can help and guide technology-providers and technology-user firms avail themselves of these important paradigm-shifting developments, which can significantly improve productivity and the bottom line for early adopters.
