• Data analytics; information produced by IoT is able to revolutionize everything in every sector, from healthcare industry, manufacturing, and even spatial layout of a city. Companies can use IoT-produced information to increase operational efficiency by cutting unnecessary costs.
• Edge computing; this is increasingly important in the process toward cloud-computing system. Edge computing is driven by the volume and speed of information obtained from IoT. Many next-generation devices are based upon the use of edge computing system. They include driverless vehicles, AI-powered smart devices, and smart drones communicate well with everything produced with IoT. Edge computing is the only option for smart devices that rely upon real-time data, real-time response, and real-time processing.
• 5G cellular service; the increased dependence upon information obtained via IoT will also force the mobile providers to deliver faster services than ever. The movement toward 5G will not happen overnight, but the process has been around. Some devices, like Samsung and Sony have embraced the leap from Gigabit LTE, which bridges between the current LTE and 5G.
Therefore, if you treat IoT as something new this year, you will see it as a mainstream next year, since everything will increasingly depend upon the Internet of Things.
