AT&T Rocks the IoT

IoT. This three-letter acronym has been gaining in importance to businesses each and every day. Its ability to capture and manage data is being referred to as the new oil and it’s spilling into every industry. Even the latest projections from BI Intelligence estimate there will be more than 55 billion IoT devices by 2025, and investment in the IoT will continue to climb at an accelerated rate, reaching an aggregate of almost $15 trillion between 2017 and 2025. But that’s nothing compared to IDC estimates, which say there will be 80 billion connected devices by 2025, generating a whopping 180 trillion gigabytes of data.

Every industry is experiencing a dramatic period of transformation and impressive disruption. Chris Penrose, president, Internet of Things, AT&T Business, calls it, “Remote control of everything.” As a result, AT&T has made it its mission to take IoT to the next level for its customers, and that means better connectivity, 5G, and unprecedented services.

This past week the world witnessed what AT&T can do for its customers through IoT initiatives, ranging from connected-device cybersecurity to energy and building management solutions, global enterprise Wi-Fi, and vertical market penetration. As a key connectivity player in the space, AT&T’s most recent moves—making new ecosystem collaborations and expanding various IoT-related programs—advance IoT innovation and adoption well beyond Industry 4.0. 

But it’s not all business for AT&T. Last week in Dallas, AT&T rolled out the red carpet for its business customers, while spotlighting celebrities, rockstars, industry experts, and Pepper the Robot.
