IoT companies
The three IoT companies that have been selected for this particular assignment are Ninja
Blocks, WattaCost and Catapult Sports. These IoT companies have been selected because they
focus in some real time problems; some of them belong to wearable technology (Vastardis,
Kampouridis and Yang 2016). The products that they sell or develop are Ninja Blocks, devices
that are attached to electricity boxes and devices that can prevent injuries in athletes.
Usefulness of the products
Ninja blocks are helpful in providing advices to people and provide control when they
need. WattaCost develop devices that help in measuring the consumption of energy in real time,
these devices are attached with the electricity boxes (Liu, Yang and Zhang 2015). The wearable
devices usually aim at preventing injuries in sportsmen by providing data from numerous
sensors. Limitations of these products usually include its complexity. Mostly people do not have
any idea of how to use them in an effective manner.
