Multimedia communication in the Internet of Things (IoT) can potentially reach into a vast array of areas and touch people’s lives in profound and different ways. For example, real-time multimedia communication could be applied in the current U.S. 911 system to provide responders with detailed information about the nature and severity of an incident before they arrive on the scene, if the callers can transmit image and/or video of the incident site. City governments can also allow citizens to report traffic and road conditions by uploading real-time multimedia data via a specific smartphone app.
