It’s All Connected
There are currently an estimated 1.5 connected devices for every human being on the planet. All over the world, sensors, smart objects, and other devices are connecting through the reach and power of the Internet. And they’re dynamically generating, analyzing, and communicating intelligence to increase operational efficiency, power new business models, and improve quality of life. Connecting the unconnected is the Internet of Things (IoT). Let Cisco & Verizon help you harness this incredible opportunity.
How Does the IoT Affect Your World?
The exponential increase in connected devices is producing a deluge of valuable data to store, sort, and apply. This explosion of data and data analytics is generating new, more sophisticated ways to redesign processes and create new business opportunities. Of course, all of this data-crunching – and new, connected applications like video surveillance and smart meters – challenges your network capacity and your security protocols. You need expanded, adaptable, secure infrastructure to keep up as we approach an estimated 50 billion connected devices by 2020.
