可能的好处从平平无奇到意义深远。例如,现在消费者可以利用智能手机远程检查自己是否锁了门、忘记关灯或是否关掉了恒温器。零售商可以帮助智能手机用户找到商店货架上的商品,并通过无线网络进行促销宣传。停车计时器也可以与智能手机用户交流。
Companies like Silver Spring Networks Inc. sell wireless meters to manage energy usage, while GE exploits data generated by sensors to monitor the health of jet engines and gas turbines.
Silver Spring Networks Inc.这样的公司销售管理能源使用的无线计量表,通用电器则利用传感器产生的数据监控喷气式发动机和燃气涡轮的情况。
The opportunities have attracted a number of startups, some of which have managed to raise substantial funding from venture capitalists. The best-known is Nest Labs Inc., a maker of Wi-Fi-equipped thermostats and smoke detectors led by former Apple Inc. executive Tony Fadell. Another example is August, which is developing smart door locks and has raised $10 million to date.
