The November Technology Evening was kindly hosted by Adroit Technologies. Malcolm Heathfield, business development manager for the applications division, took us through an interesting presentation on ‘The Internet of Things’ (IoT), introducing us to the technology that enables networked devices to exchange information and perform actions without manual assistance from humans. His talk covered a variety of the technologies used, service choices and The Cloud, as well as factors relevant to, and influencing, the growth of M2M applications. This elicited lively discussion and interesting debate from the audience.
