The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming device communication and driving the demand for faster, more efficient wireless connectivity. Wi-Fi 6 enhances IoT performance in smart homes and industrial automation with higher data rates, improved capacity, and lower latency. Upcoming Wi-Fi 7 will further advance these capabilities, offering greater speeds, reduced congestion, and optimised performance in dense IoT environments. Together, these technologies would revolutionise IoT applications by enabling seamless communication, real-time data processing, and robust connections in complex systems.
IoT fosters digitalisation through datadriven decision-making and supports decarbonisation by reducing energy consumption. It promotes smarter cities and industries, addressing urbanisation and resource challenges. Firmware updates are crucial for IoT device security and performance, with AI and ML minimising user intervention while enhancing efficiency and predictive maintenance. Reliable IoT systems rely on robust hardware and software, with companies like Infineon ensuring quality and security. High-quality hardware, secure updates, and performance optimisation are essential for IoT success.
Digital twins—replicas of physical systems—enable real-time simulation and performance optimisation, allowing engineers to monitor, predict, and enhance system behaviour without physical testing. This approach reduces downtime and boosts efficiency, particularly in manufacturing and logistics. Connectivity is vital for digitalisation and decarbonisation, allowing IoT devices like thermostats, EV chargers, and solar panels to intelligently manage energy consumption, optimising efficiency, and lowering carbon emissions. For instance, smart homes can adjust energy use based on real-time data, contributing to sustainability and energy savings.
