How Does DDS Compare?
DIFFERENT INTERNETS OF THINGS
Applications designed for the Consumer Internet of Things and the Industrial IoT must be able to efficiently
scale and securely share data. However, there are qualitative differences in system requirements for these
two types of IoT applications:

Relative Importance

Qualitative Comparison of System Requirements for Consumer and Industrial IoT Applications
Source: Cutter Journal December 2014

The Consumer and Industrial IoT share many of the same requirements. However, each requirement has a
very different relative importance. For example, Industrial IoT applications must deal with high individual
data rates. Single sources, such as an aircraft engine, produce high volumes of data. Consumer IoT applications don’t usually deal with high individual data rates. However, all IoT applications must deal with high
aggregated volumes of data.

We were specifically interested in a data-sharing platform based on the
Data- Distribution Service standard because of its proven performance,
reliability and security.”
