Qorvo's new, free e-book series explains Internet of Things

Written in conjunction with publisher John Wiley and Sons Inc, Qorvo Inc of Greensboro, NC, USA (which provides core technologies and RF solutions for mobile, infrastructure and defense applications) says that its new e-book series 'Internet of Things For Dummies' consists of two volumes that are free and available to download from its website.

'Internet of Things For Dummies' and 'Internet of Things Applications For Dummies' aim to help both technical and non-technical professionals understand the intricacies of the IoT. The content covers the basics of this growing market, the RF challenges behind it, and how it's being implemented. Experts from Qorvo's Wireless Connectivity business unit address many of the concerns about IoT technology, including wireless standards, security, and successful global deployment.

The IoT is rapidly transitioning from concept to reality. According to industry analyst firm Gartner Inc., the market for IoT will grow from 6.4 billion connected things in 2016 to 20.8 billion by 2020.

"With the emergence of IoT in smart-home applications, designers and consumers alike are asking many questions about this technology – what it is, how it works and how secure it is," says Cees Links, general manager of Qorvo's Wireless Connectivity business unit.

Volume 1, 'Internet of Things For Dummies', covers:

• Identifying IoT and smart-home market opportunities;
• Making sense of different IoT communications standards;
• Leveraging small data and self-learning in the cloud.

Volume 2, 'Internet of Things Applications For Dummies', includes:

• Delivering IoT applications with a smart-home butler;
• Creating consumer lifestyle systems for the smart home; and
• Developing IoT applications beyond the smart home.
