The Internet of Things industry has grown exponentially in the last few years. Starting as a spark, it has spread across industries as a single flame can quickly grow and consume a dry prairie. With any new industry a list of keywords, some weighing more than others, begins to grow. In IoT such words as monetization, analytics, efficiency, and security, garner a staggering amount of heft, but what of talent? In a recent article from The Economist, Exosite's CTO Mark Benson is used in reference to defining just how important finding the right talent will be as more companies take on IoT.

When choosing the right embedded protocol for an IoT solution, it is important to weigh all of the options, even those less apparent. In past blog segments of our Embedded IoT Protocols white paper, we have detailed the benefits and drawbacks of several popular embedded protocols commonly used in IoT solutions. In this week's IoT protocols post, we will be covering WebSocket, an unsuspected addition to the list.

Enabling predictive IoT analytics is a turning point for an organization. It marks the point when the hard work of understanding what happened–and why it happened–can finally be put to use. An organization that implements a strong IoT business strategy that includes analytics is structured to reap the benefits of their connected devices. Building from our previous IoT analytics blog segment, this series continues to break down key predictive analytic features and this week focuses on cluster analysis.

The Internet of Things (IoT) movement is here and a growing number of companies are tossing their hats into the ring. IoT is giving rise to previously undiscovered business opportunities that can be exciting and terrifying. Organizations that are taking action with a complete IoT monetization strategy reap rewards with new revenue channels while companies starting lateor jumping in unprepared–find failed projects with wasted resources. In a recent article for IoT Now, Exosite's CTO Mark Benson identifies five key steps to successful IoT adoption:

Selecting the right embedded protocol is an essential part of an organization's strategy when developing an IoT connected device; each protocol has unique benefits and drawbacks. In past blog segments of our Embedded IoT Protocols white paper, we have covered several protocols including: UDP, TCP, HTTP, XMPP, and MQTT. In this week's IoT protocols post, we will be covering key features of one of the new protocols to hit the IoT scene: CoAP.

In a connected device deployment, it is important to define what happened and why it happened, in order to predict what will happen. Building from our previous IoT analytics blog segment on diagnostic analytics, this series begins to break down key features of predictive analytics.

April 19, 2016

In last week's breakdown of the Data Analytics for IoT white paper, we looked at descriptive analytics. Understanding what happened in an organization's IoT analytics is an important first step. Following what happened, an organization must understand why it happened.

As the Internet of Things expands to achieve its predicted global reach and data analytics for IoT becomes more popular, several misconceptions have become increasingly pervasive. In a recent article for Electronic Design, Exosite's CTO Mark Benson seeks to identify and debunk these common myths regarding data analytics in IoT. In "11 Myths about Data Analytics for IoT Device Fleets," Benson identifies these misconceptions as:

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to grow in use across a widening range of industries, security is becoming a major concern. In a recent article for The Security Ledger, Exosite's CTO Mark Benson addresses this topic and identifies four important factors to consider and address when developing an IoT strategy. In his article "What Makes IoT Security So Hard?," Benson identifies these four factors as:
