Internet of Things Applications

The internet of things can appear double-edged. By connecting billions of devices, it is generating a great volume and variety of real-time data that makes it possible to create insight, improve services and deliver better outcomes for citizens, cities and business.

Hypercat is an Innovate UK backed consortium that is tackling the challenge of interoperability in the internet of things and smart cities. The Hypercat standard makes it easier to discover and combine data from connected “things” to create valuable new apps and services.
