About this Report
The aim of this report is to provide an overview of the current state of wireless networking technologies through the eyes of Internet of Things (IoT) software developers. We first investigate the adoption of different wireless technologies in IoT projects and then we look at the top challenges that IoT developers face when using wireless technologies. Finally, we explore the approaches these developers take to ensure the security of applications with wireless capabilities.
