The Internet of Things provides businesses and people better insight into and control over 99% of objects and environments that remain beyond the reach of the Internet. And by doing so, closing the gap between the physical and the digital world is made possible by IoT. An increasingly widescale use of IoT allows to:
Take a Journey to IoT with Actility
- Increase efficiency by saving money and resources.
- Enable cities, citizens, industries, and communities to be a connected ecosystem.
- Provide a sustainable economy and a better quality of life.
Yet, to take advantage of this opportunity, IoT must be:
- Low power, to provide valuable data at low cost.
- Secure end-to-end, and interoperable across gateways, devices, and apps.
- Scalable, reliable and an enabler of data flow and monetization.
But most of all, it must be delivered by an organization with extended experience, maturity, credibility, intellectual property, and well-established relationships in the ecosystem: Actility.Â
