Abstract

Internet-of Things (IoT) technology is not new. We can see examples of telemetry applications used for tracking trucks in the United States dating all the way back to the 1980s. Since then several enabling technologies have been developed and used, applications implemented, and even the name of this area has changed a lot, but IoT has not really reached the point where we can claim there are billions of connected devices serving us to improve our lives and increase productivity. The ultimate type of IoT, the so-called Massive IoT, which immerses us into full digitalization of our physical world has been elusive.
