IOT TRENDS TO KEEP AN EYE ON
AS WE COME TO THE END OF 2020
With 75 billion IoT devices expected
to be connected by 2025, Butaney
details that “securely connecting IoT
devices is paramount,” but requires
a new level of security vigilance than
before. As a result it is important to
implement IoT security solutions outside
of traditional network firewalls.
In doing this, IoT devices can be connected
securely and continuously
monitored for potential threats.
Another key trend highlighted by
Butaney is the increased demand
for high bandwidth, low latency wireless.
With the increase in connected
devices on the move, “this wireless
connectivity to ‘things’ in motion is
frequently much more demanding
than connecting data to people over
wireless. Video and mission critical
communications over wireless in mining,
ports, manufacturing, trains and
roadways are exploding edge bandwidth
requirements and requiring new
wireless technologies to support nearzero
latency connectivity.”
In addition to security and high bandwidth,
low latency wireless, Butaney
