IoT Connections to Exceed Mobile Phones

The Internet of Things has been growing exponentially. A recent report by Ericsson finds that by 2018, the number of IoT connections will exceed that of mobile phones.

This growth is generated by such phenomena as smart houses, transport logistics, medical applications, autonomous cars and remote manufacturing.

Many of these applications are highly sensitive and require a very high degree of reliability and stability. Therefore they are a focus of IT management and a drain on  resources. With a projected annual growth rate of 23%, such IoT devices are becoming ubiquitous.
