Recently, WebRTC has a lot of eyes from market. The use cases of WebRTC are expanding – video chat, online education, online health care etc. Not only for human-to-human communication, but also IoT use cases such as machine to human use cases can be seen recently. One of the typical use-case is remote camera monitoring. With WebRTC, people can have interoperability and flexibility for deploying monitoring service.
However, the benefit of WebRTC for IoT is not only its convenience and interoperability. It has lots of potential to address current issues around IoT – security, connectivity and so on – based on P2P technology. It will become a key-component especially in edge computing use cases, in his view.
