IEEE SA IoT Ecosystem Study

IEEE SA engaged stakeholders in key regions of the world to create an  IoT Ecosystem Study. The study comprises three principal areas: Market, Technology, and Standards, along with an examination of the role of academia and research and the importance of user acceptance. An executive summary of the study is available.
