IoT, or the Internet of Things, means a lot of things to a lot of people. At its core, it’s about connecting the real world of products and environments to the internet where that data can be used to help improve life.Unfortunately, that’s a really broad description. It’s how we end up with the endless list of IoT niches we see today: smart cities, smart buildings,industrial Internet of Things (IIoT),M2M, consumer IoT, eHealth, etc.
This white paper examines the benefits as well as the complex challenges that accompany the implementation of an enterprise-grade, revenue-generating IoT solution. Navigating the system complexity, creating the appropriate connectivity architecture, managing effective security, are some of the challenges that must be addressed and solved for an effective,profitable, scalable system.
