Learn everything about IoT and how it affects the future of mobile app development

IoT devices are meant to send and receive data.

What can be a better device than a mobile phone for interpreting the data? Thus, to achieve the best of both worlds, why not combine these technologies?

But the one thing that we have always noticed is that people are still unaware of what exactly IoT is.

Let us have a brief understanding of what it means to us and how important it is.

“The Internet of Things is nothing but a network of objects connected through the Internet that can help you to collect and exchange data. This network is commonly abbreviated as IoT.”

This word, as we can see, has two main parts:

Internet: Serves as the backbone of connectivity

Things: objects or the devices

According to a few analysts, by the time we will cross the boundary of 2019, the international market for the connected Mobile to Mobile devices would reach around 10 Billion. It is also expected that around 99% of everything will surely be connected to the Internet.

And this proves that the Internet of Things will undoubtedly play a very crucial role in mobile app development in the upcoming years. The best thing about combining both these devices is that the mobile application development technology has been the trend since the inception of mobiles in the communication sector.

Whereas on the other hand, IoT devices seem to be a new wave in this sector.

So, coming up with both of these will help us make our lives easier and hence will lead to our progress. Let us see how can it be useful for the same:

(1) Allowing mobility for organizations at the executing level:

As it is quite well understood that compiling these two technologies together would add to the comfort of humankind. All the industries, whether it is E-commerce or telecommunication industry or health care, these areas are already using this technology or have been planning to use the same.

The winner in this sector is undoubtedly the manufacturing industry, as a lot of automation has seen in this area.

These platforms can make the back end infrastructure stronger. In this case, all the data and entire actions can be made available easily across all the authorized devices.

(2) Reducing Manpower and Efforts:

Mobile technology always comes up with something more exciting and exciting for its betterment.

These technologies wearable devices, GPS, beacon technology, and also the voice navigation- all these things have made mobile technology quite user-centric and far more advanced than before.

Well, all this has led to various interesting innovations such as the light bulb that can be easily operated with one’s smartphone. Similarly, one can also manage any device( television, AC, etc.) with the remote access right on our mobile phones.

And this is the same with IoT, as it leads to complete integration with one’s smartphones. Thus, various factors help in making gestures and also helps to control much more adequate tasks like managing the industrial machinery tasks.

(3) Providing more space for hybrid app development:

Along with an excellent security facility, the customer aims for newer and unique ways to stay more connected with their homes or cars or even with the tiniest applications.

And this is where the mobile application enters the scenario. They have been playing a vital role in keeping the world more connected and helping users to stay engaged.

Thus, today, the mobile app developers have been building various applications that include an advanced level of coding using hybrid platforms such as Ionic, AngularJS and the Phone Gap, and also captivating UI.

The UI/UX designs are being planned and created considering the requirement of the latest and trending devices such as the wearables or the smartwatches.

(4) Keep an eye on your house:

Planning and aiming to build a smart city has crossed the borders and achieved newer heights. This was once a virtual fantasy that has turned up to reality.

Users can now operate tons of applications using gestures, or voice controls and human presence detection. Users can now perform all the operations on household appliances by just using gestures or voice controls.

Also, one of the highly advanced and rapidly shifting technology is beacon technology, and this is also contributing to making this fantasy into reality. However, without mobile application, the productive tasks of cost management and easy access can surely not be achieved.

(5) Manufacturers of mobile phones are leveraging the advancements of the technology sector:

The big companies in the mobile market, including Apple, Sam-sung, Ericsson’s, and Google, etc. invest a large amount of their budget on the mobile ecosystem research and development.

According to a survey, almost half of the amount of what they gain is added to the research sector. This research includes wearable technology for consumer electronics.

Also, the new variations of mobile apps include such variations that will be available on car dashboards and fixtures of households so that things such as air conditioning can be controlled easily sitting right at your place by just using your device.

As mobile connectivity is moving towards the more significant dimensions, mobile application development is becoming the main central focus of ever-expanding technology and business.

And that is the reason IoT holds a brighter future in the android and iOS development sector, and also it will help for a faster communication across the Internet.
