By Syed Zaeem Hosain 'Z', Chief Technology Officer and Founder Connected Devices, Connected World In the second edition of the popular Aeris eBook, "The Definitive Guide: The Internet of Things for Business," Aeris continues to focus on how the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT) / machine-to-machine (M2M) ecosystem can be used by business for effi- ciencies and profit. In addition to providing real-time information on devices in the field, IoT lets companies control devices from a central location. This allows compa- nies to employ IoT for applications as diverse as helping medical professionals care for more patients, or giving retailers the ability to customize advertising to a single indi- vidual, or providing fleet managers with vehicle and driver insights. The extensive reach of Internet of Things (IoT) applications are creating new busi- ness opportunities, providing new markets for existing businesses and improving oper- ational efficiencies. The Definitive Guide: The Internet of Things for Business A conversation with Rob Bergquist, co-Founder of Cell Phones for Soldiers. WW: Tell our readers how Cell Phones for Soldiers works. RB: Cell Phones for Soldiers collects and repurposes gently used cell phones as a means to provide wireless services, equipment and calling cards for military members deployed overseas, as well as veterans who have returned from active duty. Cell Phones for Soldiers works alongside family readiness initiatives, care pack- age programs and other military support groups to fulfill our mission to connect mili- tary members to their loved ones back home. WW: If the veterans have returned home, why do they still need communication serv- ices and cellular phones?

WW: What is your goal for the show? PS: TSSI would like to partner with manufacturers, retailers and dis- tributors to help them effectively manage returned goods. Since we've already experi- enced the evolution of asset management in our PC group, and manage returned assets for brands such as HP and Lenovo, I feel we offer knowledge that can help bring mobile partners that same maturity more quickly, and thereby optimize their financial recovery associated with these goods.
