Development Challenges for the Internet of Things Posted on : Nov 30 - 2015

In the coming days, the acronym “IoT” will become as extensively used as the word Wi-Fi is today. IoT is expected to achieve mass market adoption sooner than later, and that is for a good reason. IoT will bring a wide array of possibilities to the table; possibilities that seemed impossible till a few years back. With the advent of the Internet of Things, connected things and devices will enhance utility and the ease of use for the end user. Never before has the world witnessed such a huge array of interconnected devices and things functioning flawlessly and communicating intelligently.

This interconnection will be intelligent due to the devices and objects being contextually aware of their environment. All of this will be achieved, provided companies are able to overcome the developmental challenges and streamline the process associated with the Internet of Things.

Assembly Problems

One of the challenges that development teams are facing across the board is the struggle to assemble their system. The assembly complications arise from the fact that the components have to be procured from a variety of different sources. These include different components, tools and frameworks. As the ecosystem continues to mature, the level of entropy will gradually decrease. With more companies diving into the development of IoT-related products, we will see a wide array of tools, frameworks, and standards popping up to lend more support to the ecosystem.  View more
