Typical winter events swirl around us—Hollywoodians start to pat each other on the back at award shows, the Super Bowl teams are set (Kansas City versus San Francisco)

System integrators who understand how to design and build leading-edge AI-IoT frameworks will unlock value and gain a competitive advantage. 

The CES 2020 show flooded our attention spans last week with interesting new products and updates to a slew of existing smart home systems. And some silly stuff, as usual, like the Charmin RollBot toilet paper delivery drone.

Welcome back to the real world. If you’ve had a leisure holiday full of rest and relaxation, please don’t tell that to those who handled everything while you were getting your toenails buffed and painted.

Good for us: we’ve reached the end of the month, the year, and the decade. But the fun isn’t ending in IoT, it’s just beginning.

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

Thanks for checking out ICYMI during this Christmas week. We’re glad to be an excuse you can use to avoid the relatives for at least a little while. If you read all the linked articles, you can probably hide for an hour or more. So, find a hiding place, and let’s catch up.

Here’s a good reason to put off your holiday shopping until next week: the Midwest and Northeast are under severe weather alerts for snow and ice most of this week. That means nearly half of all Americans are impacted. Next week has to be better, right?

Welcome back, physically and maybe mentally, from the Thanksgiving break. If you’re reading this in a snowed-in airport, good luck to you. Since the holiday was so late in November, we have only three and a half weeks before Christmas.
