Internet of Things
IoT (Internet of Things) is all things data. It includes generating, catching, moving, processing data for insights/actions in increasingly automated and connected contexts. These technologies can unlock powerful business capabilities. IoT technology is often behind the words ‘smart’ or ‘digitisation’. It’s present in any and all sectors that use data associated with non-human assets (things).

Our people are determined to help innovators who are working on IoT or ‘smart’ data and the systems for catching, shifting, chopping and slicing, including wireless transports to solve business problems. We use our deep expertise to support people who are developing hardware/ software products, services and solutions in this space. Your project might include IoT, I4.0, LPWAN, NB-IoT, LTE-M, 5G, cloud, ‘smart X’, digitisation or/and digitalisation.
The Digital team will help you stay on top of the IoT buzz with news of relevant Industrial and Digital Strategies innovation opportunities. We can also connect you with our network of innovators to create new collaborations.
