This article is one of those long winded info/ads with a lot of back slapping by my book type of fluff. If you cut away all that crap and get to the basics, it is a great read. It is all about the coming impact of the Internet of Things (IoT) and how it will massively impact all our lives in the future.
This article focuses on a tiny piece of technology called MEMS, which is short for microelectromechanical systems. It promotes mainly the impact that these MEMS will have on ‘robotics’ of the future.
In order for the IoT to work – every device (MEM) must have one piece of software. This software can either initiate a preset function e.g. on or off, or interface with a larger warning, maintenance or delivery system to action a multitude of responses e.g production line robots & driverless cars The integration of software and data to generate a response can be facilitated via our nano-sats.
Some selected article excerpts……………
MEMS are tiny low-power sensors ... so tiny that 100 of them can fit on a dime ... some versions are just a thousandth of an inch in size.
…… this breakthrough that’s going to change the world?
In short, it’s the technology that will “computerize” everything in our lives. In fact, you are probably already using it and don’t even know it!
Through an intertwined network of objects embedded with sensors, analytics software and electronics ... billions of devices – up to 50 billion by 2020 – will be talking to each other ... analyzing, collecting and exchanging data to complete tasks.
But this next wave, the “Internet of Things,” is projected to connect seven times more “things” than the Internet’s first wave ... and it's expected to do this by 2020.
In simple terms, it will allow machines to talk with other machines.
Now if you have the vision to see the massive societal impact this next wave will have ... you will be able to see that this is your opportunity to create a fortune so incredibly large – that it provides plenty of monetary gains for your family for generations to come.
Just like computers, tablets, smartphones and the Internet’s first wave changed our lives, the Internet of Things stands to revolutionize the world on a much grander scale.
What sets it apart from the Internet we currently use is that it’s going to connect and collect data from absolutely ... everything.
Everything we live in, drive in, eat in, work in and even sleep in.
The Internet of Things has already made its way into our homes, pockets and onto our wrists...
You can already buy Internet-enabled thermostats, light bulbs, refrigerators, baby monitors, windows and toasters that observe your behavior and adjust to your likings.
You can even buy a toilet that opens, closes, deodorizes, rinses, plays music and tracks usage via a mobile app.
Smartphones, like this one, are used by 68% of U.S. adults. It is central to the Internet of Things. If I enable it to, it will track my every movement.
It will know where I am and communicate location back to apps like Google Maps and Waze to determine where there are traffic jams. It will also tell me where my friends are, play music through my car speakers, check me out with the cashier at the grocery store and so much more.
Of course, there’s a lot more to the Internet of Things than just setting the ideal temperature, safely carting us around town and flushing toilets...
It’s going to revolutionize every industry on the planet.
To grasp how big this will be, just think about how the “old” Internet changed entire industries...
The London School of Economics says: “The future is now and [this revolution] is going to disrupt most of the traditional industries.”
It will boost productivity, and save companies millions, likely billions, each and every year.
With the abrupt shift to the Internet of Things, not only are we going to witness the greatest technological breakthrough in history ... but it’s also going to make people who start positioning their wealth now very rich."
I see SAS being a prime mover in the facilitation of the IoT. This is simply a massive market with ( I dare suggest) room for multiple non-competing facilitators based on market size.
SAS has both a timing edge and a pricing edge. While others are still talking and planning, SAS is ‘doing’. With the likes of Iridium building and launching mega satellites with costs to match, SAS is production-lining disposable nano-satellites for a fraction of the cost which will be reflected in their ultimate wholesale price to on ground customers.
If you are still sitting on the sidelines – no problem. I believe the current share price is but a small fraction of what it will achieve in the future.
NOW, for a little reminiscing from just over a year ago – this was HC post # 17911162 made 31/05/16 when the share price was 2.7c "Disallowed Potential " --> super stupid, this is all I want to say when seeing the title of the post. this post should be deleted.
We are merely at the beginning of something very special.
