IoT Expo: Drones, Drones, Drones

 

This week at the IT Expo in Ft. Lauderdale, an umbrella show that hosts other tech shows including the Wearables Tech Expo I have been attending, there is a show floor focused on the Internet of Things (IoT).

However, an entire corner of the show floor is occupied by a few companies that work in the world of drones. I must admit it is a strange fit for an IoT focused event but drones are cool so no one was complaining.

There was a lot of terrific looking hardware there with some units running well into the thousands and tens of thousands of dollars in cost.

For now I am quite happy with my own $99 Code Black drone to learn how to fly and maintain control of the small drone.

I grabbed images of the drones they had on display to share here since an image gallery of IoT devices is just not quite as exciting.

Enjoy.

 

 

About the Author

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
