About
Today, we are envisioning smart cities that will manage transportation, water, infrastructure, energy and environment systems via the Internet. Smart homes that will automatically adjust the room temperatures, lighting, or even play music based on personalized preferences. By the year 2020, number of connected devices (Internet of Things; IoT) are estimated to be 38.5 billion, up from 13.4 billion in 2015 – an increase of 285% (Source: Juniper Research). South Korean mobile carrier SK Telecom recently launched a Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN), what is known to be the world’s first nationwide network exclusively for IoT services.
As we enter into a more connected world, our life experiences will change. Operating across host of industries, the “Internet of Things” are projected to bring huge improvements, efficiencies and opportunities.
