2021 Internet Of Things 50: The Bright Lights Of IoT
Solution providers are seizing the IoT opportunity like never before. Here are 50 key IoT players across connectivity, hardware, industrial IoT, security and software.
It’s an understatement to say that the coronavirus pandemic has changed IoT plans for many organizations and businesses across the world.
Remote access control for industrial companies has moved from nice-to-have to must-have. Dozens, if not hundreds of solutions for mitigating the spread of COVID-19 have popped up. And protecting networks and systems from IoT-based cyberattacks has become an even greater imperative, underscoring the importance of connected devices in everyday operations. “
COVID-19 has highlighted the essential role the Internet of Things has come to play in our lives,” the World Economic Forum wrote in a recent report. “IoT applications such as connected thermal cameras, contact tracing devices and health monitoring wearables are providing critical data needed to help fight the disease while temperature sensors and parcel tracking will help ensure that sensitive COVID-19 vaccines are distributed safely.”
While the coronavirus slowed down IoT demand to some extent in the early months of the pandemic, many companies now plan to increase their investments in IoT technologies, according to a recent survey by Gartner. This means significant opportunities for solution providers in the years ahead.
To keep solution providers up to date with the latest and greatest IoT technologies, CRN presents the 50 coolest IoT companies of the year across connectivity, hardware, industrial IoT, security and software.
