The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) is not exactly a novelty, even if it has not burst out yet with all the force that the market expected. The 5th generation of mobile telephony (5G) is rushing to deploy in the midst of a real trade war, and intends to get one’s own way on this and others fronts. This paper analyses how to  overcome the challenges of an IoT deployment, which can be too complex to fulfil its promise of massification and ubiquity. This analysis is primarily intended to identify  whether 5G will be the key to a current IoT deployment in all contexts, or whether it is wise to pursue other development paths first.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the factors that affect developing countries especially Egyptian users to adopt IOT Applications/devices, and to what extent those variables affect the overall attitude towards, behavioral intentions and actual usage of IOT applications/devices. Moreover, to develop an extended adoption model by integrating the security concern and privacy concern in UTAUT2 model. Design/Methodology: a descriptive quantitative approach was adopted, and a comprehensive research model was adapted from literature and then tested via an online questionnaire. Results/Findings: The findings revealed that Effort Expectancy, Facilitating Conditions and Security Concern all have a significant positive effect on the overall intention towards using IOT applications/devices in Egypt. Theoretical and practical implications: The Internet of Things (IOT) has emerged as an innovative computing technology destined to optimize business operations and create new products and services. IOT enable the devices to communicate and integrate with one another to collect, exchange, and make data accessible through the Internet. It is projected that by 2025, over 50 billion devices will be connected to the IOT network, reaching a market value of up to $11 trillion. This study adapted the Extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) as the theoretical framework and its findings contribute to the literature by adding security and privacy concerns as new predictor variables. This contributes theoretically to the current literature by providing meaningful insights into the main factors that affect using IOT Applications/Devices in developing countries specially Egypt. This study’s conceptual effort provided an overall overview of how IOT users arrive at choosing (or not choosing) to use IOT applications/devices. Additionally, the analytic effort of this study provided a holistic assessment of the role of each variable. One critical question in this case is whether industrial leaders should assign an equal number of resources to each variable or not. By assessing the significance of each variable, the researcher attempted to clarify the comparative importance of each variable in forecasting purchase intentions and decisions to use IOT applications/devices.

Lamp is a kind of electronic that created light. Light is obtained through the flow of electricity as a current to add a voltage. the die and the life of light are controled  by humans using switch. Applying the  Internet of Things, as known as IoT determined the life and the die of a lamp by determined by the active light censor. The die and the life of the lamp automatically depends on the light sensor by capturing the intensity of the light produced. The result of the function test found that the data in the form of lux value generated by the light sensor, the value is exposed on a website with the display of graphics and websites serve as a web service provides control values to determine the response lamp, if the value of lux above 30 percent then the lights off And vice versa if under 30 percent of the lamps are on, so that a small value will be sent to the lamp and the lamp will respond that the lights are off or on. So that humans only act as a watchdog and control of the value generated by the light sensor.

International institutions of development actually try to impose to developing countries, including Russia, a model of development, which could promote the use of their internal resources to form digital infrastructure that can facilitate the process of soft- and hard-ware solution penetration to their markets. These are introduced by foreign companies and are useless for the development of in-country competences in the field of key technologies vital for future development of digital economy. The article studies specific features of national programs of digital economy development in different countries and provides recommendations of international institutions of development to developing countries. Key differences in actual goals set within the frames of trends of digital economy development were shown. According to the authors, cultural and psychological barriers play an important role in complicated conditions that require serious transformations because of digital alterations. The Internet of things can be called a new trend in integrating into global space. The use of the Internet of things concept could limit economic and social processes, which separate human participation from certain actions and operations. The authors show that the ‘The Industry 4.0’ concept is not restricted only by technologies, as it needs cultural changes because of digitalization.

The existing stand-alone multimedia machines and online multimedia machines in the market have certain deficiencies, so they cannot meet the actual needs. Based on this, this research combines the actual needs to design and implement a multi-media system based on the Internet of Things and cloud service platform. Moreover, through in-depth research on the MQTT protocol, this study proposes a message encryption verification scheme for the MQTT protocol, which can solve the problem of low message security in the Internet of Things communication to a certain extent. In addition, through research on the fusion technology of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, this research designs scheme to provide a LightGBM intelligent prediction module interface, MQTT message middleware, device management system, intelligent prediction and push interface for the cloud platform. Finally, this research completes the design and implementation of the cloud platform and tests the function and performance of the built multimedia system database. The research results show that the multimedia database constructed in this paper has good performance.

This paper discusses the organisations involved in the development of application standards, European regulations and best practice guides, their scope of work and internal structures. It considers their respective visions for the requirements for future standardisation work and considers in more detail those areas where these overlap, namely human centric or integrative lighting, connectivity and the Internet of Things, inclusivity and sustainability.
