Cellular vs WiFi for IoT: Choosing the Best Connectivity Option

The real value delivered by IoT applications is in the data provided by the end-point devices. Or more specifically, in the analysis of that data and how it can be used to positively influence business decisions. To unlock this value, data needs to be transferred from the end-point device to some compute resource, possibly on…
