In the era of the Internet of Things, how will smart hardware affect our lives?

In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become increasingly well-known and widely used. The industry generally believes that the IoT is a new wave of the information industry revolution after computers, the Internet and mobile communications. It can be said that the future is the era of the IoT. The Internet of Things advocates the interconnection of things, and the market prospects it brings are far greater than the current communication business between people or between people and things. Compared with computers, the Internet and mobile communications, the IoT has a more far-reaching significance for the changes in human life.

At present, the application of IoT technology in the hardware field has become more and more sophisticated and diversified. From high-end drones to TVs and refrigerators, from large industrial robots to miniature, implantable medical devices, smart hardware in the IoT era has evolved from wearable devices to more industry fields. According to Gartner, an information technology research and consulting company, by 2020, the number of items connected to the IoT will reach 21 billion, which means that almost everyone on the planet will have three items connected to the IoT. Gartner also gave a data that by 2020, the IoT market size will reach 1.9 trillion US dollars.

1. Smart wearable products

Smart wearable products are popular products in the early stage of IoT technology application. Once they came out, wearable products such as smart watches and smart bracelets attracted the attention of many consumers. Their functions are reflected in voice care, health monitoring and other aspects. Users can not only record their real-time health data, but also upload data to guide health synchronously. At present, with the update and iteration of IoT technology, the design ideas of smart wearable products are also becoming more mature and will better meet the actual needs of users.

2. Smart Home

Smart home is one of the most widely used fields of Internet of Things technology in recent years. By integrating hardware related to home life, an efficient, comfortable and convenient family living environment is built. It can be said that the Internet of Things has been continuously penetrating our lives in various forms.

We can use mobile phones to control air conditioning, which helps us control the temperature of each room, customize personalized modes, and even automatically sense temperature and adjust to achieve remote temperature control. We can also use mobile phones to adjust lights, so that you can feel the convenience of smart lights as soon as you get started. Not to mention the smart TVs and smart refrigerators that are common in life. The Internet of Things technology has even been applied to devices such as ovens and coffee machines. By connecting to wifi, you can use your mobile phone to control these smart hardware, and you can enjoy a cup of fragrant and delicious coffee without doing it yourself.

3. Smart Healthcare

Smart healthcare is a recently emerging medical term and a new field of IoT technology application. By utilizing the most advanced IoT technology, various diagnostic instruments and hardware equipment are connected to achieve interaction between patients and medical staff, medical institutions, and medical equipment, gradually achieving informatization and building an effective medical information platform.

In the hospital, medical staff can use PAD to keep track of patients' medical records and medical reports at any time, and quickly formulate treatment plans; medical staff can also query medical imaging data and doctor's orders anytime and anywhere; at the same time, the medical information platform can help multiple hospitals effectively share patients' referral information and medical records. Although the application of IoT technology in smart medical hardware is still in its infancy, it is believed that smart medical care will gradually enter people's lives in the near future.

4. Smart Home Security Products

Home security is an important part of social security. Modern families are paying more and more attention to home safety issues. Security products are no longer high-end technologies. The Internet of Things technology will give it a more "people-friendly and low-key" image and continue to enter ordinary people's homes. We are more familiar with home smart cameras, window sensors, smoke detectors, etc. Through smart monitoring, you can check the situation at home in real time on your mobile phone. At the same time, the access of a variety of smart alarm devices has greatly improved the performance of home security.

5. Smart VR Products

The emergence of virtual reality technology has set off a new wave of enthusiasm. The rapid advancement of Internet of Things technology has made virtual reality more popular and physical. Consumers will also have more application consumption scenarios, and smart VR products will be more competitive in the market.

At the same time, with the continuous expansion, penetration and deepening of the Internet of Things in the field of smart hardware applications, the market demand for Internet of Things cards is also increasing rapidly. As a cloud communication service provider specializing in the development of communication products and solutions, Unified Communications has developed an Internet of Things card that effectively solves the problem of users directly purchasing expensive traffic from operators. At the same time, the WPS encryption feature, anti-virus, anti-freeloading, and anti-WIFI hacking keys, effectively ensures information security, improves the security of smart hardware, and greatly catalyzes the application and development of Internet of Things technology in smart hardware.
