Smart, connected devices are now an integral part of

our lives, in business and at home
The Internet of Things connects numerous everyday devices, opening up previously closed
systems to remote access and control

Smart homes and Connected cars, Industrial control systems Smart Cities with sensors
offices enabled with a autonomous trucks, w/ cyber-physical and digital mgmt. systems
host of connected and unmanned platforms managing for energy, utilities,
