TVs, audio systems, heating and cooling, and lighting can be all be controlled from one easy-to- use, centralized hub. MEDICAL APPLICATIONS Wearable medical devices rely on embedded antennas to transmit information such as heart rate, blood pressure, and time spent exercising and sleeping from the user to the device. This data is stored and can be relayed to medical providers in person or through telehealth/telemedicine to aid in diagnosis and treatment. TELECOMMUNICATIONS The telecommunication market is the foundation of IoT networks and platforms. It allows communication in the form of voice and data to transmit from device-to-device on the network. RETAIL APPLICATIONS Retailers use IoT-embedded systems across a number of applications that improve store operations such as increasing purchases, reducing theft, enabling inventory management, and enhancing the consumer's shopping experience. Some examples of systems utilized in retail are personalized retail marketing, staffing level indicators, cashierless payment systems, movement tracking systems for optimal store setup, and inventory management tools. SMART FARMING APPLICATIONS Smart farming is an often overlooked IoT market. Farms and livestock can be managed remotely through robotics, drones, and AI. Monitoring tags can be attached to animals to collect data on their health and location. Drones can be used for planting crops and agricultural spraying. SMART SUPPLY CHAIN APPLICATIONS Supply chains offer solutions to problems such as tracking of goods while in transit and helping suppliers exchange inventory information. With an IoT enabled system, factory equipment that contains embedded sensors monitor different parameters such as pressure, temperature, and use of the machine. The IoT system can also process workflows and change equipment settings to optimize performance. Antennas play an important role in receiving and transmitting these signals. SMART CITY APPLICATIONS Smart city applications range from water distribution to traffic management, waste management, environmental monitoring, and security. IoT solutions offered in smart cities solve various problems such as traffic and air and noise pollution. AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS Automotive antennas enable real-time communication with the surrounding, connected ecosystem. They provide consistent, accurate, and timely responses between the vehicle and its environment that is critical as more vehicles have autonomous functionality.
