(Smart Cities Council, May 13, 2015) – The adoption rate for the Internet of Things (IoT), the M2M technology made possible by the connectivity of secure networks and cloud infrastructure, is growing – and that growth will accelerate as more and more applications take advantage of its versatility and ability to turn data into useful information.
