Internet of Things

After the Mobile revolution, the Internet of Things (aka Internet of Everything) is becoming the next leap forward in the current technological revolution. Every segment of IT technology development, whether it is Silicon, Communication, Devices & Systems, Software, Solutions, System Integration & Services is being affected by this new paradigm.
