Wi-Fi is easily one of the most widespread technologies ever invented, allowing for unprecedented connectivity across a near endless list of devices. With more than 450 million Wi-Fi hotspots expected to be deployed in 2020 and an installed base of more than 13 billion Wi-Fi devices, the technology is a global success story.

Its potential to transform industries is even greater than most realize. Wi-Fi is more than an internet gateway for phones, tablets and computers–it can be used to connect virtually every item imaginable. From household appliances to traffic signals and beyond, Wi-Fi is also building a path to the Internet of Things (IoT), which has evolved to allow for more robust applications. IoT is now capable of monitoring equipment to search for indications of failure. It can analyze the temperature of commercial refrigerators to prevent food from spoiling at restaurants and grocery stores. And it can keep a close eye on carbon-monoxide levels to ensure we aren't at risk for CO poisoning.
