Internet of Things (IoT)
Changing the Way We Live and Work
From smart homes to smart cities, innovative technologies are changing the way we live and work. Companies savvy enough to realize the benefits of these new technologies can quickly gain a competitive advantage.
One of the most significant information technology trends in recent years is the Internet of Things (IoT), which is a global system of connected devices. IoT is growing rapidly, and the Statista Research Department projects that the number of devices will reach 75.44 billion by 2025. According to IDC (International Data Corporation), IoT devices are expected to generate 79.4 Zettabytes of data in 2025. Many companies are facing important decisions about how to incorporate IoT into their existing IT infrastructures and how to manage the devices and the amount of data that will be collected.
Internet of Things is transforming the everyday physical objects that surround us into an ecosystem of information that will enrich our lives. From refrigerators to parking spaces to houses, the Internet of Things is bringing more and more things into the digital fold every day, which will likely make the Internet of Things a multi-trillion dollar industry in the near future.

5G Network
Are you ready for 5G?
The fifth generation of mobile wireless communications, called 5G, will change the way we interact with technology on a daily basis. 5G is expected to have speeds of 100 gigabits per second as opposed to the 100 megabits per second of 4G. And 5G's capacity for multiple devices to be connected simultaneously in the same area will play a key role in the expansion of Internet of Things (IoT). The greater number of connected devices will pave the way for autonomous vehicles and smart cities. For businesses, 5G will drive innovation and impact the way they interact with their customers and the world around them.
With the roll-out of 5G technology, it won't take long for companies to recognize both the benefits and the challenges of the new network. While it offers faster speeds, better stability, a more significant number of connected devices, and lower latency, there are concerns regarding privacy and security issues and implementation costs, and older devices may not be compatible with the 5G network.
5G will have an impact similar to the introduction of electricity or the car, affecting entire economies and benefiting whole societies.
