WHITE PAPER Toward Next-Generation Access Networking Technologies in Industrial/Enterprise Internet of Things Sponsored by: Peplink Bill Rojas October 2015 IN THIS WHITE PAPER Next-generation access networking for the Internet of Things (IoT) will need to provide cost-effective, high-reliability, secure edge/access networking communications in combination with cloud computing for industrial/enterprise applications. In this IDC White Paper, we discuss a new set of access networking technologies that is entering the market at significantly lower price points than previously available and provides higher uptime and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). The paper also investigates how these new access networking technologies will play an important role in realizing a wide range of IoT industrial/enterprise applications through the utilization of cellular/wireline bandwidth aggregation via multiple broadband and Long Term Evolution (LTE) links to realize multi-link WAN bonding, VPN bonding, and WAN smoothing. SITUATION OVERVIEW IoT Vision and Ecosystem IDC defines the Internet of Things as a network of networks of uniquely identifiable endpoints (or things) that communicate without human interaction using IP connectivity — whether locally or globally.  The IoT brings meaning to the concept of ubiquitous connectivity for businesses, governments, and consumers with its innate management, monitoring, and analytics of traditionally unconnected things.  With uniquely identifiable endpoints integrated throughout enterprise networks, providing operational, environmental, and location intelligence, an IoT system is managed and monitored by an intelligent or traditional embedded system that acts as a gateway between local sensors/actuators and an IP network that is connected to the Internet and made part of a wider IoT solution that collects and acts upon the collated data from the e
