Internet of Things (IoT)

IIoT drives the physical world where operational technologies (OT) are used. Cisco provides you with a roadmap to ensuring the continuity, resilience, and safety of operations as you secure OT environments.

Most everyone agrees that wireless technology is a key pillar of the Internet of Things. Exactly which wireless technology is a different story. Opinions may vary from enterprises, to service providers or vendors, but one size does not fit all. The best wireless technology is the one that addresses the requirements for your industrial IoT […]

By 2023, 34 percent of all mobile connections will be IoT connections, up from 13 percent in 2018 (Cisco Annual Internet Report, 2019). As the leading cellular connectivity management platform, Control Center reflects this accelerating IoT trend day to day in our device counts. Since we acquired Jasper and its software platform Control Center in […]

In an earlier post, I shared examples of how organizations can benefit from edge computing – from enabling autonomous vehicles in transportation and preventive maintenance in manufacturing to streamlining compliance for utilities. I also recently shared examples on where the edge really is in edge computing. For operational leaders, edge compute use cases offer compelling […]

Edge computing has become the IT industry’s hot “new” term. Media outlets, vendors (including Cisco!), and analysts alike are all touting the value of edge computing, particularly for Internet of Things (IoT) implementations. While most agree that there are benefits to processing compute functions “at the edge,” coming to an agreement on what exactly constitutes […]

It’s an exciting time for organizations that are migrating to Industry 4.0. Over the last few decades, industrial control systems (ICS) have enabled modern industrial automation. Today, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies present new opportunities to increase operational efficiency and launch a new generation of industrial products and services.   But first, organizations must address […]

Water authorities around the world work to ensure that clean, safe water flows from the sources to customers’ homes. Just as flowing water is key to that mission, so, too, is flowing data. And for a growing number of water authorities – including the Ontario Clean Water Agency in Canada – IoT solutions are providing […]

The next frontier in IoT will be won with applications that drive growth and profitability with clean, secure and reliable data. Enter: IoT Edge Computing. Cisco Edge Intelligence helps Cisco IoT bridge the gap between where data is generated and where it's consumed. It offers an out-of-the-box, plug-and-play solution for everything in between.

In the kitchen, you strive to use the highest-quality ingredients possible. But you don’t typically serve one or two ingredients on a plate. Instead, you build a plan for what to serve and how to combine the ingredients to achieve the desired results. Unless you’re a culinary whiz, you probably want that information from someone […]
