Authored by Nick Earle from Eseye and published on September 27, 2023, this report presents survey results from over 1,000 senior decision-makers in the UK and US with IoT projects in electric vehicle charging and smart grid, healthcare and medical devices, manufacturing, supply chain and logistics, and smart vending. The key finding is that only 1% of businesses had achieved more than 98% average connectivity levels across their device estates. Device design has also been identified as an important element for successful IoT project deployment. The main takeaway is that reliable connectivity is essential for IoT systems and should not be compromised.
