they create lag . By using mobile devices to process the data gathered from IoT sensors at the edge of networks , IoT powered edge computing can reduce delays and even improve security .
In addition to functions like business alerts , security monitoring and data gathering , the combination of edge computing IoT and cellular networks ’ ability to move the IoT into more and more hostile locations means that increasingly complex tasks can be accomplished more quickly in increasingly diverse environments .
CHANGE IN THE AIR
The IoT evolution isn ’ t going anywhere but forward . Mobile operators around the world , as explored above , are going to see their businesses affected in a number of ways . Cellular IoT is an area with huge potential for growth , and takes advantage of mobile providers ’ extant infrastructure . Also , smartphones are increasingly going to be the linchpins of IoT networks , as they come to function as controllers for more and more devices , as well as fundamental drivers of edge computing solutions . IoT applications are increasingly being developed for mobile , due to both ease and the necessity of having flexible access to architectures that were designed to promote flexibility in the first place . The future of IoT is mobile , and a significant portion of the future of mobile is the IoT .
