\"iot\"The world is more connected than ever before.<\/p>\n

We can literally catch all the activities out there without stepping out of our houses. A click on the screen, you share a post or document to thousands of others all over the world. Even my family from the other end of the earth is just a few finger swipes away on my smartphone.<\/p>\n

That’s the power of the Internet of Things – a new concept of connecting not just humans, but the “things” surrounding us through the Internet.<\/p>\n

What is IoT?<\/h2>\n

IoT stands for “Internet of Things”. As the name states itself, the Internet of Things is a system that provides a seamless connection of all the devices on the Internet so they can communicate from one to another.<\/p>\n

“The interconnection via the Internet of computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data.” – from Google Dictionary<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why Do I Care About IoT?<\/h2>\n

When everything is connected, there’s a huge potential for businesses, or you could say, a huge challenge for businesses who are left out.<\/p>\n

Voice over IP is at the core of IoT. VoIP<\/a> has changed the way we work, communicate, and interact with each other. A unified communication system allows you to communicate anywhere anytime in your preferred form such as Voice Call, Video Conferencing<\/a>, Instant Message (IM), or Email.<\/p>\n

That’s where your business can take advantage of not just for your customers, but also for your employees. Managing remote workers becomes a breeze when you can monitor activities in the advanced analytics report; keeping in touch with your customers is no longer a tough task when their purchase or interest reports are just a few clicks away.<\/p>\n

The Future of IoT<\/h2>\n

\"baby-monitor\"IoT continues to grow. Today, we have baby breathing\/rollover monitors that get signals through a child’s clothing and send alerts to your smartphone. A smart Wi-Fi-enabled pitcher that tracks the amount of water that passes through the filter and automatically orders a new filter for you online.<\/p>\n

What do you think we will have tomorrow? A smart plate that gives you a nutrition report before you start eating? Or a refrigerator that sends you a shopping list of what you need to pick up on your way home today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
