The “Internet of Things” is here and it’s moving quickly. Market forecasts aside, you only need to look around to see connected devices in play – smart meters from utilities, smart traffic lights and parking spaces used by municipalities, smart water management systems used by agriculture, golf courses and others, pressure and flow monitoring systems in the oil and gas industries … the list goes on and on.
On the consumer side, the results have been the same: smartwatches, smart thermometers, connected cars and the like are beginning to transform the way people live their day-to-day activities.
