Internet of Things Applications

COMPUTEX, a long-running annual information and communications technology (ICT) show hosted in Taiwan, recently came to a close. Of special interest to Internet of Things (IoT) engineers was the CPX Conference, an event in which industry leaders delivered keynotes discussing their plans and predictions for IoT technology. Following are some highlights of the CPX Conference.



Cooperation Is the Key to IoT Success

One takeaway from the conference was given in a panel of ICT companies discussing the need for inter company cooperation in order to reach the IoT’s full potential. While this is a shift from the usual paradigm between companies in a competitive industry, the panel stressed that IoT solutions and technologies must cooperate across brands to fully capture the benefits of a connected ecosystem.

The idea of interoperability is not new, but it bears repeating. It’s clear that some companies already understand the importance of collaboration to meet the needs of consumers and businesses alike, while those that don’t may find themselves pushed out of the market entirely. Considering the CPX panel discussion, it seems that more and more ICT companies are realizing the need to work together.
