The third wave of IoT is being enabled by essentially “free”/unlicensed wireless spectrum, lower cost sensors and microcontrollers, and a bevy of software applications and devices designed for specific, vertically-focused use cases. The applications that appear to be prime for IoT disruption include home automation, appliances of all types, wearable computing devices, home health care, retail and warehousing inventory management, connected farms/agriculture equipment, and likely many more that have not yet been invented.
