Edge computing and IoT standardization unlock resilience in critical infrastructure

Murray argues that real-time IoT and AI systems deployed at the edge are fundamentally reshaping how communities detect and respond to infrastructure crises, particularly flooding in coastal areas. He further contends that federal standardization of connected devices—beginning in healthcare—is the necessary prerequisite for scaling IoT adoption across entire sectors and critical infrastructure.
