Smart Communication

Technology is making it ever easier to build an IoT network. Integrated automation solutions will potentially link systems and applications and, indeed, almost everything. Whether this represents progress or, on a more practical note, whether people affected by this change will accept it is an open question – The Future of IoT.

More than fifty years ago, Dionne Warwick had a hit with Trains and Boats and Planes. Today, all of these vehicles are operated in ways nobody would have imagined back then – but what we can expect in the near future is even more astonishing with autonomous transport.

E-bikes are all the rage, but increasingly they are being joined by growing fleets of e-scooters. For urban planners, new forms of on-demand micromobility are increasingly being viewed as a quick way to reduce congestion in the inner cities.

Everything urban is now getting connected – from healthcare to education, government services, buildings, physical security systems, and much more. With Smart-Cities communities embracing these emerging tools will be leading the future.

Data from drones is increasingly proving crucial for businesses in areas that include utilities, mining, oil and gas, and agriculture.

Experts now expect that IoT is likely to provide the next generation of track and trace: faster, more accurate and predictive, and more secure.

Mobility is one of the many drivers for the fifth generation of mobile networks (5G). Due to its new features, many never seen before, 5G opens the market for new applications and business models. While in many ways simply an evolution of existing mobile networks, 5G also represents a true revolution.
