IoT is ready to go fully mainstream

Businesses that are employing IoT are already seeing a return on their investment, Vodafone report finds. IoT technology is now fully mainstream, and those businesses that employ it are reaping the benefits, new research has declared. Surveying 1,758 businesses worldwide, Vodafone’s latest IoT Barometer report says that more than a third now use IoT. Out of that number, almost three quarters have moved beyond pilot stage, and almost all (95 per cent) are reaping the rewards. Even though use cases are all over the spectrum, all these businesses have one thing in common – IoT is leaving quite the mark. For the majority, it has ‘completely disrupted’ their industry.
