What’s the Industrial Internet of Things?
(Part 1)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing at an unprecedented rate. But it turns out that this is just the beginning; experts predict the technology will grow even faster once it reaches its full potential in the industrial and manufacturing fields. In industrial IoT (IIoT), smart sensors, actuators, devices, and people make up the IoT […]
Why Data Analytics Are Essential for the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) generates a gargantuan amount of data on a daily basis. According to Cisco, 5 quintillion bytes of data are produced every day by this technology. That’s a whole lot of zeros! This makes sense when you think about it. After all, data is the lifeblood of IoT. By pushing, pulling, […]
How to Streamline Your Internet of Things Data Management
The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly. Many organizations are racing to leverage the advantages this technology brings to their sectors. According to a study from Boston-based technology research firm IDC, IoT spend will reach almost $750 billion globally this year, which is an increase of 15% from 2018. Another report by IDC shows that […]
What Does the Smart Home of the Near Future Look Like?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revamping numerous industries. Soon, it will also redefine how we live. In just ten years, many of our homes will be transformed by IoT development. Combined with artificial intelligence (AI), IoT will allow our homes to learn about their inhabitants and anticipate their needs. Machines will lend a hand […]
California Wants to Stop Hackers from Controlling IoT Gadgets
Democratic California governor Jerry Brown is making history by signing a bill into law that sets cybersecurity standards for Internet-connected devices. This includes all Internet-connected devices: your smart refrigerator, thermostat, car, computer, and everything in between. His signature would make California the first state to pass a law surrounding cybersecurity of the Internet of Things […]
Soon, Doctors Will Be Able to Track Your Health – Without Any Wearables
Dina Katabi is a renowned professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT in Boston. She’s built a box in her research lab that can live in your home; it tracks physiological signals while you move: breathing, gait, sleeping, heart rate, and much more. She hopes this box will become the non-invasive standard for measuring biological […]
Is Slowing Down Innovation the Key to a More Secure Internet of Things?
It may sound counterintuitive, but could cybersecurity for the Internet of Things (IoT) be improved with a slower rate of innovation in the field? With IoT, security compromises don’t just mean a smartphone or computer getting hacked; the interconnected nature of IoT means entire groups of cars, homes, hospitals, and offices could be hacked at […]
AI Is Entering the Sales Business
Artificial intelligence (AI) is divisive when it comes to interactions. Either it comes off as robotic and unhuman-like or eerily authentic to the point of discomfort. But by giving AI more of a human touch, Boston-based developer Talla just may have hit the sweet spot with its “next-generation knowledge base,” a descendant of the company’s first […]
MIT Is Developing AI to Track Sensors In Your Body
As big tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft become more interested in medical technology applications, startups are undoubtedly facing some tough competition. But that’s not stopping researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). A team at MIT’s Computer Science Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) is using wireless radio signals and AI to interact with sensors inside the body. […]
The Future of the Smart Home Security Market
The Internet of Things (IoT) is all-encompassing. Any physical object with actuators, software, sensors, or other features that allow for clear communication is fair game for IoT. Every industry it enters has a high potential to be disrupted drastically. Home security is no exception. The IoT security market is projected to reach a value of $31.42 […]
