The eclectic mix of devices individuals and industry have labored to connect has grown massively. Juniper Research’s latest forecast estimates that the number of connected IoT devices, sensors and actuators will exceed 46 billion by 2021, a 200 percent increase from 2016. Per a new Parks Associates report, U.S. broadband households now own an average of eight connected computing, entertainment or mobile devices plus another two connected home devices. More than a third of consumers rely on a connected health device and more than 63 million subscribe to a video over-the-top or Internet-delivered video service. According to Gartner, more than half of major new business processes and systems will include an IoT component by 2020.
