The IoT needs a modern framework that makes it easier to design and deploy devices, applications, and services—securely.

WELCOME TO A NEW YEAR and a new decade! Both are sure to be filled with unexpected opportunities, unavoidable missteps, unanticipated success stories, and a host of surprises. 2019 certainly was, as we know now thanks to (forgive us) 20/20 hindsight.

Since Daylight Savings Time sprang forward and ruined our Sunday, we know spring is close (10 days). And spring break, or “SPRING BREAK WOOO!” if you’re young, happens this month as well. Try to relax and enjoy the anticipation of spring, warmer weather, and mosquitos.

Smart buildings, smart houses, and connected infrastructure offer significant opportunity for deploying IoT devices and systems.
