What Interoperability Means for the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is reliant upon connection, making communication one of the most rudimentary functions of internet-enabled technology. Interoperability opens up endless opportunities for IoT devices as it ensures that devices will be able to communicate with each other and store data in a central location. The IoT will be able to fulfil its promises of convenience and functionality if multiple devices can be controlled simultaneously while being able to communicate and transfer data with each other.

The IoT in 2025

When we talk about the future, wandering minds drift toward watery visions of flying cars, personal robots, and hover boards where all work is banished by fully automated technology. I tend to picture this kind of future a bit more like Wall-E: humans as a race of fat sluggish incompetents surrounded by an entirely preset system.

Marketing and the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) promotes the ability for marketers to engage with data on a level that has been unprecedented up until this point. Increased connectivity through devices will result in much more information about how the consumer relates to the product. The feedback will inevitably allow marketing departments to understand the relationships between customer and product more clearly, paving the way for more dynamic strategies. In the future, marketing campaigns will focus on individual customers’ buying habits, budgets and desires, making the buying process more streamlined.

Where is the standard for the IoT standards?

The rapid progression of device communication has resulted in a formidable roadblock to the Internet of Things (IoT). Too many rival standards have emerged from big company alliances and individual expansions. While companies like Samsung, Intel, and Cisco have united around the Open Interconnect Consortium, individual corporations like Apple and Google are beginning to make headway on their own API projects.
