How business broadband supports IoT adoption

In today’s hyper-connected world, the Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming how businesses operate – driving efficiency, innovation, and smarter decision-making. From smart sensors in manufacturing to connected devices in retail, IoT technologies are reshaping industries across the UK. 

But to unlock its full potential, businesses need a robust and reliable network, which is where business broadband comes in.

What’s the Internet of Things (IoT)?

The Internet of Things refers to a vast network of physical devices – such as sensors, machines, vehicles, and appliances – that are embedded with software and connectivity to collect and exchange data. These devices communicate over the internet, enabling real-time monitoring, automation, and data-driven insights.

For businesses, IoT can mean anything from smart energy meters and connected CCTV systems to logistics tracking and predictive maintenance tools.

The common thread? Each device relies on a stable and high-speed internet connection to function effectively
