EasyReach viewpoint of IoT sector in India for the year 2017

A graph which is show how increasing IoT sector in India every day in this image

The internet is full of articles listing out how the IoT industry is set to explode the following year. The revenue numbers are staggering with Nasscom expecting the IoT revenue to grow up to $15 billion by 2020.

From the EasyReach viewpoint, we believe the following will happen from the on ground perspective in the Year 2017:

  1. More and more companies will run small pilots around technology usage while focusing on their pain point areas/areas where there has been a lot of spent. Key thrust areas will be on revenue generation, cost optimization, asset tracking etc.
  2. These pilots will not focus on the technology or hardware alone – the focus will be mainly on operations and the sustainability from a long-term perspective.
  3. The operations cost will determine whether it will remain only a concept or a product showcase or whether it will be imbibed into the SOP of the company. The operations cost will also include the cost of servicing, hardware replacement and on ground operations.
  4. Vendors will be under pressure to move into a SAAS model rather than a product model. Vendors will fail if they get too aggressive and get the pricing wrong under pressure from the client.
  5. In order to launch these systems and go live successfully, training of users will play an important role. Most of these systems will fail if the user is not on boarded correctly or does not have his interests at heart (monitoring/audit for example). Most users will try and game the system if they figure out that their interests could be jeopardized by the launch of the system.
  6. The ROI of the system will be monitored very closely. Hence, defining the KPI of the system while taking into account the multiple variables and the eco-system will be a must.
  7. Client expectations will come down. IoT will not be the Holy Grail that will take away all operating problems. On the contrary, it will lead to more work from the client perspective as there will be a lot of data analysis that needs to be done.
  8. Hardware cost will come down with improvement in processing speed and capabilities. The Quality of hardware should remain stable – however, with entry cost being a major hurdle it might become cheaper to factor the cost of replacement rather than design hardware to last long term (say 5 years for example).
  9. With the entry of Reliance Jio, data connectivity cost will no longer be a hurdle to IoT implementation. Networks have also streamlined their coverage to a large extent and hence will not be a constraint to pan India implementation.

All in all, it will be an exciting year for both clients and vendors with a lot of hands-on learning from the ground. At EasyReach, we have multiple pilots across industries currently in progress and we will share the learnings in due course.

Safeguarding IT Assets: Protect Your Office Critical Assets with EasyReach Mini Tags

In the fastest era, all offices work on smart and costly IT devices such as laptops, monitors, printers, and even safety equipment. It moves around premises constantly, highly chances of losing track of critical assets are a silent budget killer. The good news? You don’t need expensive, complicated systems to fix it. EasyReach identified this everyday challenge and designed the Mini BLE tags tailored exactly to customer needs. These mini BLE are the smallest BLE Beacons, a smart and affordable way to keep everything visible and secure—right from your phone or dashboard. The Real Price of “I’ll Find It Later” Let’s be honest: most offices still rely on spreadsheets, labels, or plain memory to track gear. But the numbers tell a different story. – Businesses lose billions globally each year to misplaced or stolen devices—laptops alone can cost thousands per incident when you factor in data risks and replacements. – Employees waste hours weekly searching for “lost” items, which translates to thousands in lost productivity annually for mid-sized teams. – Downtime from missing projectors or printers disrupts meetings, delays projects, and frustrates everyone. Beyond the obvious replacement bills, there’s hidden damage: audit headaches, compliance risks when assets go missing, and even safety concerns if emergency equipment isn’t where it should be. The fix isn’t more manual checks—it’s intelligent, always-on visibility without the hassle. Why EasyReach Mini BLE Tags are best for Office IT Security These aren’t your typical bulky trackers. EasyReach Mini BLE Tags come in two super-compact forms that blend right in: – Coin-sized (just 22mm across, ultra-slim) – perfect for sticking discreetly under a laptop, monitor, or printer base. It’s practically invisible. – Pen-drive-sized (48mm × 12mm) – slim enough to slide into tight spots like equipment panels, fan housings, or projector mounts. Powered by Bluetooth Low Energy 5.3, they sip power from a tiny replaceable coin cell. In standard mode, expect around 3 months of life. They broadcast signals up to 30–40 meters indoors (line-of-sight), supporting standard protocols like iBeacon and Eddystone. That means seamless pairing with any compatible BLE gateway or app—no vendor lock-in. Best of all? Installation takes seconds: peel, stick (or slide), and start tracking. No tools, no wiring, no IT degree required. Everyday Wins: How Mini Tags Protect Your Most Valuable Office Assets Here’s where the magic happens in real office life: 1. Order your Mini BLE Tags (coin or rectangular—mix and match as needed). 2. Attach them to your critical assets—anyone can do it in minutes. 3. Place a few affordable IoT gateways around your office floors for full coverage. 4. Connect to the EasyReach dashboard or your preferred BLE app. 5. Monitor, get alerts, and enjoy the visibility.
