Last month, the mass media company acquired Austin-based IControl Networks, which develops technology and platforms for connected home security devices. Comcast is focusing on Icontrols Converge software platform, which is the muscle behind Comcasts Xfinity Home touch-screen panel and back-end servers, that lets the devices communicate with and manage security sensors in the home, along with providing support for home automation devices such as cameras and thermostats.
Consumers will lag behind businesses and governments in IoT adoption. Still, they will purchase a massive number of devices and invest a significant amount of money in IoT ecosystems.
Analyzes how the IoT ecosystem is being using in a number of industries
Honeywells primary focus is in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the integration of digital technologies into manufacturing. This puts the emphasis on information rather than physical machinery, even for areas that traditionally require physical labor.
This creates a tremendous opportunity for Honeywell, which can step in and increase that 7% figure considerably.
Nearly $6 trillion will be spent on IoT solutions over the next five years.

Forecasts IoT investment by six layers: connectivity, security, data storage, system integration, device hardware, and application development
Businesses will be the top adopter of IoT solutions. They see three ways the IoT can improve their bottom line by 1) lowering operating costs; 2) increasing productivity; and 3) expanding to new markets or developing new product offerings.
Moreover, T-Mobile was ahead of the curve, as it debuted its IoT program through its Value Added Reseller channel n 2005 and created a full, dedicated IoT team in 2008. Today, the company offers a full hub that serves as a one-stop shop for IoT customers.
The carrier partnered with Twilio to create Twilio Programmable Wireless, a cellular communications platform that could change how IoT developers work.
Governments are focused on increasing productivity, decreasing costs, and improving their citizens quality of life. We forecast they will be the second-largest adopters of IoT ecosystems.

Explains the benefits and shortcomings of many networks, including mesh (e.g. ZigBee, Z-Wave, etc.), cellular (e.g. 3G/4G, Sigfox, etc.), and internet networks (e.g. Wi-Fi, Ethernet, etc.)
Investors would be wise to consider Honeywell because of its considerable size and resources. Accenture conducted a worldwide survey of more than 1,400 business decision makers and found that 84% think their organization would potentially benefit from IIoT in multiple ways. But a mere 7% said they have actually created a comprehensive IIoT strategy and invested appropriate funds to support that strategy.
