7 Internet of Things actions perfectly suited to our connected future
When you say Internet of Things (IoT), you may get different answers. I like to think of it as a matter of connection. These are devices that can connect to each other and to the Internet. And that provides users with the solutions that make our lives easier.
The most basic and ubiquitous example of an IoT device is the smartphone that many of us have with us at all times. But think about what it led to. Home assistants, security cameras, fitness apps, and more are all enabled by the Internet of Things.
The IoT took on even greater importance in the pandemic, as businesses had to find a way to keep their networks secure and viable even as their employees were dispersed remotely. This has created a demand for cutting edge and cloud computing solutions that are also being facilitated by the Internet of Things.
And yes, this is just the start. The growing need for data is fueling the demand for IoT solutions in areas such as autonomous vehicles.
But the good news is that this is an area that is still in a growth phase. And that means there is no shortage of companies you can find to trade in this industry. To get you started, we’ve prepared this special presentation that highlights seven of these companies and why we think they are worth adding to your portfolio.
