The document discusses Internet of Things (IoT) projects and their common problems, and proposes the DeviceHive open-source framework as a solution. DeviceHive is a machine-to-machine communication framework that provides infrastructure for device management, communication protocols, data storage and processing, and more. It allows developers to focus on device logic and integration without worrying about low-level electronics or network implementation. Case studies demonstrate how DeviceHive has helped build proofs-of-concept, prototypes, and enterprise-scale IoT solutions.
