IoT development has always come in fits and starts. Early IoT devices were large and unwieldy until better microprocessors were developed. And storage for the massive amount of data generated by a large scale IoT network was impossible, until the cloud evolved and massive amounts of storage, as well as processing power, was available to everyone at a competitive price.
Now, the industry is at an inflection point. The bookend solutions of processing power and data storage has matured, but the connectivity in the middle hasn’t always been up to speed.
