IoT in security
Given the scope of IoT and it’s application, one thing that would surely take place and that is the increased number of connected devices. With more and more devices communicating and sharing data with each other, the network would expand beyond boundaries making the data vulnerable to hacks. Software breaches, information leaks, and data probing would necessitate the need of embedding security within the infrastructure and so, IoT security would be a major trend, the organization needs to keep in the loop to safeguard their customer’s data. Upcoming times would witness increasing demand for improved IoT based systems in the sense that are more secured and can control any sort of glitches or attacks.
Smart cities
Smart homes, smartphones and now, smart cities. The concept has already penetrated within the industry and the next year would witness a huge shift in the lives of all. Industries that are working on this idea plan to induce IoT based parking systems, integrate IoT based sensors to monitor traffic and added utilities. To date, a huge amount of investment has been made in this domain and this figure is expected to reach $80 billion by the end of 2050. The main purpose behind the theme of smart cities is to deploy an infrastructure that allows users to communicate with hard to reach things taking the help of IoT and enhancing the decision-making capabilities of all.
Flying cars
A concept that is largely based rather backed by IoT, flying cars is all about connectivity. The fact that these can be remotely controlled, thanks to the IoT embedded tools, flying cars is no more a fan of science fiction, instead of an eye captivating reality. The cars maintain constant communication with the centralized home base that monitors the flight. While Tesla has already started working on the idea, Uber is also making its way. It is expected that 2020 would see Uber flying cars test their fate in cities of LA, Dallas, and Dubai.
Smart shoes
When you can have smarter watches, why not shoes? Well, this isn’t just helpful for the customers but also for the inventory management lot. Why? Smart shoes are embedded with RFID tags that ease the task of the managee to monitor and track the flow of inventory. Also, it helps marketers keep track of the movement of the customers, collect data and likewise, enhance their services, making them customer-oriented.
5G technology
Almost every industry has been effected post the inception of IoT and the telecom sector is no exception. In the era where everything happens at a speed that is incredibly high, IoT in the network and communication industry would augment the 4G LTE connectivity. Greater bandwidth, higher speed, and least latency, the next decade would unleash the potential of IoT in the telecom domain.
Self driving cars
A late mention but a worthy one. Autonomous cars are expected to wave off the traditional form of driving. Also regarded as self-driving or driverless cars, IoT in the automobile sector is all set to transform the way people commute, adding mobility and round the clock flexibility. The BMW 7 Series is equipped with features such as auto parking where’s Elon Musk’s Tesla aims to redefine the idea of transportation.
Voice assistants
Dealing with customers, adhering to the request and addressing their issues is the key to success for any business organization. Where a manual workforce is limited by time and restricted in efforts, organizations are seen embracing the concept of IoT to deploy voice assistants that are available throughout the day. These are always active and cater to the needs of your customers in the most effective way. Further, people today are bilingual and for a customer service professional, meeting all the demands isn’t possible. Here again, the adoption of voice assistants comes to the rescue.
