According to the National Intelligence Council’s definition, the Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the general idea of things, especially everyday objects that are readable, recognizable, locatable, addressable, and/or controllable via the Internet— whether via RFID, wireless LAN, wide-area network, or other means.

The number of vendors offering platforms to enable IoT is growing in both closed and open source. Each vendor has its own strategy for implementing the IoT concept.

This white paper updates the previous Mitrais’ evaluation of eight selected IoT development vendors from our Quarter 3 2016 newsletter, highlighting the advantages and, more importantly, the limitations of their solutions to assist Mitrais customers in choosing the best IoT platform for their needs.
