Development Prospects of Iot in Unified Communication

IOT-Internet Of Things (IOT) is a world that makes me curious but has not really understood or entered. According to Wikipedia terminology, the Internet of Things was first used by Kevin Ashton, a co-founder of the British technology pioneer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, it is described as "a system that connects to the physical world through ubiquitous sensor systems."

An article published by foreign media cellular-news in April 12 tells us why the Internet of Things has aroused people's interest. The article pointed out that today, each person has at least two tools to connect to the Internet, but this number will change to 7 by 2015. At the same time, Iot will create a huge market worth $2.5 billion.

It is worth mentioning that by 2020, the value of the IOT market will double to $5 billion. This number is amazing and I have to start thinking about the role of connections and Unified Communication in connecting to the physical world.

How does Iot work? In fact, some examples are already around us, but we didn't notice them. For example, if you are driving an OnStar car, the monthly diagnostic reports will be sent to you by email.

Including diagnostic information, maintenance information, current tire pressure, and other detailed vehicle health information. This information is uploaded by a computing device on a single board to the enterprise computing network through satellites, and relevant information and content are analyzed and provided to end users through the Internet.

Enterprises use the Internet of Things based on unified communication. If you are traveling and have an application on your smartphone, you can get flight information, hotel reservation, car rental and other information. Once the flight information is set up, the itinerary is automatically imported and updated. Notify you of temporary changes by email or Internet.

From the perspective of Unified Communication, Iot is exciting. Imagine that if enterprises can integrate the Internet of Things and Unified Communication, a network that is truly not limited by time, space, and equipment will appear.

It is foreseeable that the development prospects of Iot in Unified Communication are very optimistic.
