The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the biggest trends in technology and if all the claims are believed, has the potential to change our lives at home and the way companies do business.

Smart metres that monitor energy use, self-driving cars and a wealth of connected entertainment experiences are among the most common examples used to demonstrate the capability of IoT devices and applications.

Sensors capturing data across a network and real time analytics can help inform companies develop more efficient processes, understand customers better and make more accurate decisions with the ability to respond quickly to industry trends.

Even governments will be impacted, with smart traffic, waste collection and transport systems all waiting to be deployed across entire cities.

IT firms are turning their attention towards the hardware, software and networks that will help deliver this transformation.
