The legacy of industrial based networks is now evolving into the data infrastructure layer of the, 'Internet Of Things. With billions of devices about to be connected to the internet, there are signs of a convergence. A convergence between industrial and consumer, physical and virtual, man and machine. Everyday activities in the real world will have the potential to be augmented, improved and integrated into our digital lives by means of a smooth, flawless user experience. Welcome to the Internet Of Things.
