Exosite is a technology company focused on connecting devices and systems. They have been developing embedded technologies for over 20 years - and have first-hand experience dealing with the lack of connectivity between devices, networks and users. Year founded: 2009

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a global network of physical devices communicating with each other, usually through powerful cloud applications that add data processing, aggregation, and analysis to provide business insights and benefits that would not otherwise be feasible. A classic example of IoT products is that light bulbs can be controlled remotely through a connection to the internet. This could be accomplished directly by a user on a remote device to turn on a light before getting home. It could also be accomplished automatically by intelligence in the cloud that uses data from other sensors around the house and other internet services to predict what the user will want. Exosite partners with companies to help their enterprise optimize the right IoT strategy, unearthing opportunities along the way.
