There are several IoTs: the Industrial Internet, Consumer Wearables, Wearables and Healthcare, Supply Chains, and the movement toward Smart Grids, Cities, Regions, and Nations. There are competing communications standards every step of the way, a bewildering array of sensors and devices, and an entire world of competing data analytics platforms. To some this appears to be chaos.
In this power panel at @ThingsExpo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, Bradley Holt, Developer Advocate at IBM, and Esmeralda Swartz, VP, Marketing Enterprise and Cloud at Ericsson, discussed the vast toolbox of options being offered and how individual IoT project managers benefit from the choice of tools being offered to them.
