It’s predicted that by
2020 there will be 21
billion devices on the
network. (Gartner)

4. Why might IoT be important?
By acting on real data in
real time, the IoT
promises improved
efficiency, greater
accuracy, prediction
and prevention, with
wide economic benefits
in fields such as:
Health care, home

transport, and the
environment.
