2022 IoT Technology Trends The Era Of IoT Plug-And-Play Begins

IoT growth lags projections because most endpoint devices are constrained, fixed-function platforms with customized embedded software stacks communicating over dedicated, non-interoperable networks. AI-capable SoCs, converged platforms, and interoperable networks address these growth barriers, transforming IoT devices from underpowered embedded gadgets to scalable compute nodes that use modern software tools and DevOps. This fundamental change to IoT economics plays out over several years, but we'll look back on 2022 as the start of the IoT plug-and-play era.
