Our mission
By 2020, half the world’s population is expected to have internet access and machine-to-machine connections will reach 100 billion devices. With this global connectivity comes both opportunities and challenges.

Our sustainable products help customers transform sectors and expand access to people around the world, reflecting the technology industry’s unique potential to deliver sustainability at scale.
