Mexico. The phenomenon related to the Internet of Things has become one of the fastest growing applications in information technology globally due, in large part, to the fact that its potential use is practically infinite.
According to the IDC Directions conference, given by Veron Turner, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Systems at IDC, in 2016 about 11,000 million devices were connected to the Internet around the world and it is expected that by 2020 the figure will triple, reaching 30,000 million smart devices. Among the most prominent industries are automotive, electronics, healthcare, construction, transportation, commerce and wireless connectivity.
Within wireless connectivity, one of the aspects that has stood out is digital lighting, which has managed to generate a great impact and has aroused the multidisciplinary interest of architects, scientists, industrialists and countless specialists who have found incredible areas of opportunity in intelligent light.
