What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?

IoT technologies make it possible to connect assets of all kinds — everything from industrial machinery to heart monitors, streetlights to cars. These assets are equipped with sensors that monitor their environment, and with a network connection so they can communicate. Businesses can use IoT to gather data about what’s happening in their operations in real-time, supporting decision making.

the Middle East

This is our sixth Internet of Things (IoT) Barometer. Since the last edition, we’ve seen a significant acceleration in global adoption with over a third (34%) of respondents in the Middle East said their companies have already adopted IoT.

A further 32% of organisations have plans to adopt IoT in the coming two years.
