When it started more than a decade ago, to be frank the Internet of Things (IoT) was never anything more than a conversation starter, inspiring living room chatter and boardroom discussions on the way of the future for homes and offices because the topic deflected towards tangibles. However, growing awareness about commercial and mass technology has led to a general increase in popularity for IoT-enabled gadgets, which is especially true here in the UAE, a regional benchmark for technological progress.
As reported in a section of the Arab media, the UAE is among the leading markets for smart home systems in the GCC. The sector in the Emirates is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.8 per cent during the period 2016-22. However, challenges remain.
