Internet of Things

The Internet of Things has evolved from a mere buzzword to a new reality - one that’s approaching faster and at a larger scale than we thought possible. IDC forecasts worldwide spending on the Internet of Things to reach $772.5 billion in 2018 alone. But IoT is complex and harnessing it is easier said than done. While companies may be aware of IoT, they face the common struggles of understanding the use cases that apply to them, what the market opportunities are, and how to correctly implement it into their overall strategy. When it’s done right though, companies can exploit IoT and reap numerous benefits.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a hot topic now more than ever. According to Ericsson, the number of connected devices is expected to reach 28 billion worldwide by 2021. These connected devices are everywhere, from washing machines to tooth brushes, and thermostats to trash cans. They're all around us. With the IoT ecosystem changing rapidly, it's important to get together to discuss the latest developments, share ideas and explore new opportunities in the marketplace throughout the year.

The giant ecosystem that is the Internet of Things is growing, shifting and consolidating rapidly. We all know that IoT can change our lives and make our businesses more efficient, but what else should we know about IoT? Here are 18 IoT statistics that will help you wrap your head around these rising trends.

2017 was a busy year for Skyhook and 2018 looks even brighter. Highlights of the past year include launching our new data offering Geospatial Insights, releasing OpenTide and hitting many DevOps milestones, just to name a few.

This is the final blog of a six part series dedicated to locating Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) IoT devices. Previous posts discussed locating Ingenu, LoRa, LTE-M1, NB-IoT and Sigfox devices. This post looks at the practical challenges associated with locating devices that communicate via the Weightless LPWAN protocol.
