What's next for the Internet of Things (#IOT) industry? How will IOT devices transform what we do, from Smart Stadiums through to Amazon IOT Dash button?
We look at how the Internet of Things tech trend is set to change our lives in 2016 - from quirky innovations through to upgrades in networking speeds.

Internet ofThings and the
companies springing up to solve
them
3. 5G
As consumer connectivity gets better, so does the ability for IOT
devices to be used.
The ability to deliver high speed networks and connectivity to
many devices at a relatively low cost will mean that IOT devices
can be integrated into many different processes – often replacing
expensive legacy technology.
IOT devices will be able to be connected to you whether you’re on
aWi-Fi network or in the park.

4. Amazon’s IOT
Button
Amazon have released their Amazon
Dash IOT button – which sold out in
the first day.
AWS IOT button: A small device that
comprises of literally a button.
Can be programmed to enact a
command, meaning that developers
can repurpose it for almost any
requirement.
The possibilities are endless, and could
shape how we order, pay, engage,
communicate and also build
machinery.

5. Blockchains
and the IOT
InformationAge suggests that
blockchains will provide a way for
IOT devices to interact with each
other and share information
securely.
Blockchains could be a way of storing
the data that is collected without the
data being readily available to
hackers.
An example of two relatively new
technologies coming together to
deliver a solution to a problem we
don’t yet have.
6. Intel, IOT, and
theCloud
Intel has reported that it is focusing its efforts on IOT and the
Cloud.
Intel sees IOT devices as “transforming everything and every
experience”.
They see the future of tech being split into IOT devices and
sensors on one side, and Cloud and data centres on the other side.
7. Vodafone and
Smart
Stadiums
Vodafone has announced it will be designing ‘smart stadiums’ for the
QatarWorld Cup due to the success of theVodafone Arena inTurkey.
During a recent match at theVodafone Arena, nearly 12,000 people
used a total of 413 GB data throughVodafone’s 4.5G network – and
even more data was consumed through the Wi-Fi system within the
ground.
Technologies are being employed across stadiums to enhance the fan
match-day experience: HD screens broadcasting a range of content,
and apps for fans within the stadium to giving queue information and
live action replays.
Eight stadiums at the 2022 QatarWorld Cup are set to receive the
‘smart stadium’ experience fromVodafone – will football be changed
forever?
8. NewTech:
Problems &
Solutions
Pwnie Express Inc has raised a considerable amount of funding to
launch its service offering dashboards to organisations to show all
wired,Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices in the vicinity.
Useful for businesses with BYOD policies where staff devices need
to be closely monitored, or by public organisations who need to
understand what devices are in use nearby at any one time.
The technology was utilised at the 2016 Super Bowl game at Levi’s
stadium to monitor access points.
