Welcome IoT Weekly News Readers!

I hope 2018 is starting off to a great for everyone. As the year is just kicking off, I'm excited for what is ahead and how IoT technology is going to change the world not only this year, but for many year to come.

As expected, CES was the largest technology event this month. If you were not able to attend, IoT was once again well represented in a number of the companies that were showcased. I've selected a few interesting articles this issue that cover the best products from CES 2018.

You'll definitely want to watch the TEDx video on the "Internet of Everything" at the end of this issue along with a company that is promising no-battery bluetooth beacon as early as 2019!

Finally, Matt Turck put together an excellent long form article entitled, "Growing Pains: The 2018 Internet of Things Landscape" that you'll definitely want to read. It's the first article in the business section.

I hope you enjoy this issue and remember to please tweet it to your followers!
