IoT… a fancy acronym or a secret code?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is like the magical glue that keeps the world connected! 🌐✨ From ordering your favourite takeaway to the ANPR technology that helps you find a parking spot, IoT is everywhere—even if you don’t realize it. At Wireless Logic, we provide cutting-edge connectivity solutions and technologies to ensure a vast array of devices stay seamlessly connected.

I think we need to be able to somehow show what’s part of the advert to engage them and then what’s the ongoing part that should be used for perf management?
