The first word when it comes to the Internet of Things and M2M. Connected World keeps readers in the know about all things IoT across key verticals.
I am certain the current FCC (Federal Communications Commission), www.fcc.gov, chairman Ajit Pai had a plan when he declared on December 14 he would vote to repeal net neutrality. And it seems unfortunate that the FCC doesn’t understand the adverse effect the ruling will have on small and medium-sized enterprises and how it will negatively impact innovation. Even though the carriers needed and wanted to control the market, Apple’s advantage was its hardware and its amazing approach to allow software that would run on its devices that created a growing market.

As more consumers bring connected devices into their homes, and as more businesses integrate IoT (Internet of Things)-enabled devices and systems into their workflows, cybercriminals are finding new avenues for disruption and data theft. Security researchers at Armis, www.armis.com, an enterprise IoT security company, recently discovered BlueBorne vulnerabilities in one of the most popular consumer connected-home devices on the market today: BlueBorne is an attack vector that, according to Armis, targets the weakest spot in a network’s defense, spreading from device to device through the air. To combat BlueBorne vulnerabilities in Bluetooth devices, Armis coordinated with Amazon, www.amazon.com, before releasing its research, giving the company the opportunity to release appropriate security patches and updates, which it has already done.
Autonomous retail is coming—and the IoT (Internet of Things) is going to impact connected retail in the future. And, especially since it’s the holiday shopping season, I think we can all agree that easier, faster store trips with no lines is an amazing idea. The poly platform’s camera system offers realtime data about the movement of products, giving store managers instant notifications about not only stock levels but also rich analytics. The autonomous store platform allows customers to pick up their desired items and then leave.
