“Everything we can think of around us, at home, work, factories, laboratories, hospitals, on the street, in the car, on planes, ships and so on is interconnected and continuously communicating, exchanging data and information… While [devices that we use to connect to the internet] is only going to grow, a rather steeper growth will come from devices that will either be connected to the internet autonomously… or they’ll simply be connected to each other (machine-to-machine connections or M2M).”
