IoT represents the breaking down of silos – but not without open source thinking

“Open source’s influence extends far beyond sharing code,” writes Gordon Haff in his Open Source article. According to him, open source thinking is needed if we want to improve and fasten the adoption of IoT solutions. In addition to this, there are several other developing processes running to make IoT implementation easier than it is. “A number of technology trends are coming together to make IoT solutions more practical: low-power and inexpensive processors for pervasive sensors, wireless networks, and the ability to store and analyze large amounts of data, both at the edge and in centralized data centers,” he writes.
