The Convergence of Technologies
In summary, the convergence of IoT, LTE, AI and cloud will help enterprises
realize immediate business value to improve operating efficiencies and drive
revenues in the short term. Across vertical industries, this convergence will
also bring about new, long-term market opportunities that do not exist today.
However, like any new wave of technologies, there will also be challenges in
many areas in the IoT space, such as device security, privacy and the reliability
of AI predictions or recommendations. These problems will be solved as the
IoT ecosystem matures.
