Sensors and connected peripherals to outpace smartphones and PCs for majority of active wireless connections, says ABI Research

ABI Research forecasts the installed base of active wireless connected devices will top 47 billion by 2021, more than double the current level. Smartphones, PCs, and other hub devices historically commanded the leading share of total active connections, with accessories (including smartphone and PC peripherals, residential smart home lighting, and wearable devices) and sensor nodes (like Bluetooth beacons, proximity sensors, and other edge devices) rounding out the remainder. But moving forward, the latter will benefit most from continued improvements to underlying IoT infrastructure.
