Time to think Internet of Sensors and not Internet of Things

May 8, 2015

May 8, 2015: When you cut through the hype around the Internet of Things (IoT), it’s the Internet of Sensors (IoS) and resulting data that matters most, according to developers at The Technology Partnership (TTP). “The IoT is, to a large extent, a solution looking for a problem, rather than the other way round,” says Steve Taylor, a senior consultant at TTP. “There’s simply no point in objects talking to each other just for the sake of it and the IoT only provides the communications backbone. An Internet of Sensors looks more like the roots of a tree, … Read More → "Time to think Internet of Sensors and not Internet of Things"
