Ambient IoT
Ambient IoT, from ambient and Internet of things, is a concept originally coined by 3GPP[1] that is used in the technology industry referring to an ecosystem of a large number of objects in which every item is connected into a wireless sensor network using low-cost self-powered sensor nodes.[2][3][4][5] Bluetooth SIG has assessed the total addressable market of Ambient IoT to be more than 10 trillion devices across different verticals.[6]
The applications of Ambient IoT include making supply chains for food and medicine more efficient and sustainable, protecting from counterfeiting and delivering the data required for advanced transportation and smart city initiatives.[2][7] Ambient IoT has been called "the original vision for the IoT" by U.S. Department of Commerce IoT Advisory Board chair Benson Chan.[2]
Standards for Ambient IoT are being considered by 3GPP,[8] IEEE and Bluetooth SIG.[4]
