8 interesting developments in IoT technology

The technology advancement have surely made our lives a lot easier.
Now, everything is readily available at our fingertips. Technology like
IoT is surely needed and is extremely useful to make life easier for us.
Let us talk about eight interesting developments in IoT technology that
has imparted a lot of ease to our lives.
1. The rise of edge computing.
Technology has completely transformed our lives. Now, we are used to
of the improved standards of living, the credit to which entirely goes to
improved technology. Earlier, the data that was supposed to be used
from the devices which were kept in an IoT setup, the data in this case
used to be transfered to the cloud in raw form. Now with edge
computing, this method is being changed at a fast paceis changing that
rapidly. Local points (storage devices) placed in a closed vicinity now
gather the data, sort it and filter it. This data is then transferred to the
cloud and the entire series of processes become so much faster. All of
this results in consumption of lesser bandwidth and an increase in
latency.
2. Value added to healthcare by IoT
IoT has been a boon for the healthcare industry. Now the sensors and
wearable devices perform the collection of data which is then
monitored post which it is sent for processing. The health monitors
help in transferring the analytics by the minute that helps the doctors
analyze patients with utmost accuracy.
Now, the public is getting better with technology that creates the
demands for technologies like IoT. With virtual assistants and mobile
applications, the health sector is being benefitted to the maximum.
3. Cloud development of IoT.

IoT deployment has made cloud services really important. It has made
the major companies such as Amazon giving away more to the catering
cloud services. Microsoft also launched its ‘Azure IoT Edge’ that enables
many devices in a particular environment to perform cloud services,
and that too after eliminating the need of having a cloud connection.
We understand how cloud services require the best safety features,
making the tech giants giving more to make the security layers better.
Now the cloud has better integration in the IoT services, eradicating the
need to make structural changes in the new devices.

4. Now big data and AI are taking over.

We all have understood by now that a lot of data is being collected and
processed. All this data analysis in the raw form is not going to be
fruitful. So, big Data management is really important which has been
growing at a fast pace in IoT. This ‘application of data’ will one day
transform our daily lives from where there is going to be no looking
back.
Now AI technologies have been used by various companies because of
the hike in competition. There has been a formation of a strong
relationship between AI, Big Data and IoT devices and their operation.
There has been a significant growth that is seen through all this. We are
sure there is a lot to come.

5. IoT operating systems have been introduced and for good.

Windows and IoS have been used by us for a long time now. However
the growth in the IoT has made IoS and Windows take a back seat
because of IoT being way ahead being compared to them. We require
real-time responses so that IoT can work in the best possible manner.
Also, we need to ponder on the fact that there are also newer and
advanced chipsets that may not be compatible with the current
operating systems.

6. Google Waymo has been possible just because of IoT.

Well, if you are living under a rock and don’t know about Google
Waymo, then let us tell you that it is the first self driving car by Google.
And this one won’t need any driver, isn’t this incredible?
So, this is one of the most prominent examples of what IoT technology
has been doing to us and making our future no less than unbelievable.
Waymo works through the processes of machine learning, edge
analytics and AI developments. This is a wonderful example of how IoT
is changing our world with one step a time!

7. IoT Ecosystems are getting to be formed.

Now when IoT systems have become so inccredibly useful, they have to
coexist together and have to be cooperative towards each other. This is
so that they can operate without any hassles and reap maximum
benefits. Now data is shared between many devices and platforms
through IoT, resulting in formation of IoT ecosystems.

8. IoT working wonders for marketing moguls.

IoT and Big data has been used by the marketing moguls all over the
globe for client targeting. Now people have been also using advanced
analytics in order to target niches in the best possible manner. Now a
lot of data can be brought by edge computing, one can get to know if
the marketing campaign is a success or a failure within no time. Now
the companies can also get to know what has to be spend and when it
should be spent. This is exactly how IoT serves the marketing world.
Well, these are just a handful. We are sure that the day is not far when
IoT will be used a lot more in our daily lives and will create a big impact
in our worlds.
