The Internet of Things: What Is It?
M2M (machine-to-machine communication) connects our world across multiple markets, industries and spaces. Connected cargo containers, cars, heating systems and production plants are almost self-evident.

Simon Bell and Steve Demianyk of Ipswitch Networks explain the concept in this video, and how exactly IoT will impact businesses as the trend takes hold in years to come.
