Smart devices are everywhere. From the phone in your pocket to the thermostat in the office, its hard to escape the reach of these ever-evolving devices. Each day we are inventing new and creative ways to utilize smart technology and thus the boundaries of the IoT (Internet of Things) continues to grow.
In 2021, the IoT will continue to expand at an expeditious rate. Let’s take a look at a few aspects.
What is the IoT?
The IoT refers to an interconnected system of objects that collect and transmit data through the internet without human interaction. While this definition might sound simple, it’s almost impossible to imagine the vast number of devices that exist within the IoT. Everything from medical devices to livestock transponders are part of this intercorrelated world.
Crossing into Different Industries
The IoT most notably got its start in smart homes and fitness apps but is rapidly crossing borders into the business sector. In the coming years, we will start to see the IoT applied into industries like healthcare where doctors can more accurately monitor patients or in retail as online shopping and automation become more popular.
Utilizing the IoT in your business can mean a great number of positive things. Some companies may find increase in customer satisfaction or production but where everyone can see some benefit is the bottom line. Using the IoT to streamline your business means less time is spent on onerous processes and more money in your pockets.
Greater Access
With the spread of 5G, cloud computing and growing WiFi access the IoT will continue to be propelled forward. Having many more fast and efficient ways of connecting to the internet means more ‘things’ can be developed and utilized within the IoT.
As we continue to deal with the effects of the pandemic in 2021, we still have a great need for innovations within remote working situations and data access. This alone will help to force better options within the IoT.
