The infinite possibilities and potential applications surrounding the Internet of Things (IoT) have been well-hyped over the past few years, but the technology is at a tipping point in terms of adoption as we head into 2018.

IoT, the ability of everyday devices to connect and transfer data to each other, is already carving out a place in the consumer market, with devices like smart home locks, thermostats, lighting and energy monitors.

The latest research also claims that 29% of organisations have already implemented IoT solutions, and this is expected to surge to 48% in 2018, as businesses are increasingly sold on the cost-savings and the productivity-enhancing benefits of IoT.
