New Tools Help to Connect “Things” - Connected World Magazine
The number of Internet-connected devices is set to grow. According to IMS Research, www.imsresearch.com, the number of Internet-enabled devices is forecast to reach 9.6 billion by the end of 2012. The research firm also expects 28 billion Internet-connected devices by the end of 2020. Whether or not these numbers become fact, they show the potential for the technology.
IMS Research points out 75% of the devices forecast by 2012 are what it considers “existing connected devices,” meaning they are in categories such as fixed and mobile communications, computers, and consumer electronics. But the research firm also says these segments are projected to account for just half of the total installed base by 2020, predicting Internet connectivity will become more common in fields including medical, industrial, and automotive.
