The Internet of Things is big business, and our microwave/RF industry is right in the middle of it. Sure, lots of the "things" in the IoT are wired in but lots more aren't. Most of the connectivity is wireless using various protocols like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and LoRaWAN. Our TechXchange: The Internet of Things is a collection of material examining the many facets of the connectivity that makes the IoT go. Whether it be applications like asset tracking, smart retail, inventory control, or wearables, it's a wireless connection that's going to shuttle the data between endpoints and hosts. Here, you'll find tons of information on everything from the basics to the particulars of specific use cases.
