As the number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices explodes (some projections put the total number of IoT devices at more than 40 billion by 2025), our expectations for fast, energy-efficient, and secure connectivity are also skyrocketing. This dramatic growth and demand for IoT devices is exposing gaps in our existing connectivity protocols that wireless technology innovators are racing to fill.
