Industrial Internet of Things will Reach 43.5 Million Devices
As more machine-to-machine (M2M) applications are being created, Internet connectivity will become essential to numerous heavy industries around the globe. The installed base of wireless Internet of Things (IoT) devices in industrial automation reached 10.3 million in 2014.
How Retailers are Utilizing In-Store Wireless Technologies
Retailers are investing more on in-store digital technology that has the potential to improve the shopping experience. ABI Research has forecast well over one million indoor location retail deployments by 2020, with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons now established as the key building block for indoor location.
Emergence of the Wireless Personal Area Network App
A smart wireless device is a stand-alone piece of hardware which can link to a nearby smartphone, often via a short-range wireless technology such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The device will typically have a companion software app, which will add value to the data received from the hardware device.
Why Incentives make Sharing Wearable Data more Palatable
Eighty percent of consumers have privacy concerns with wearable Internet of Things (IoT) connected technologies. But half of those same consumers said they would be willing to share personal data collected by such devices with third-party retailers when presented with compensation such as a coupon or discount.
