# IoT Project Kits The AT&T IoT Starter Kit Accelerates Innovative Internet of Things Creations By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-02-21 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iot-project References: [techrepublic](http://www.techrepublic.com/article/at-t-launches-99-iot-starter-kit-to-push-innovation-to-market-faster/) & [starterkit.att](https://starterkit.att.com/) At [Cisco Live](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sub6-ghz-5g), [AT&T](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/att-connected-life) announced that is launching an IoT project Starter Kit for developers to that will provide 4G LTE connectivity for Internet of Things applications. The AT&T IoT Starter Kit promises to kick-start the prototyping process for an idea by providing everything from [humidity and temperature sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensor-stream-pro) to a prepaid SIM card that is compatible in over 200 countries. Alongside supplying physical hardware that does not need to be sourced from multiple vendors, the plug-and-play kit also supplies developers with tools for designing, building and managing IoT project prototypes. Martyn Etherington, the head of IoT cloud marketing at Cisco says: "IoT developers play a critical role in the development of applications that deliver new, valuable services through connected devices. With this all-in-one Starter Kit, we're helping to accelerate IoT success for developers looking to build or enable connected service businesses." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Iot for Prototyping:** The AT&T IoT Starter Kit provides an all-in-one solution for developers to prototype their IoT applications. - **Plug-and-play Iot:** The AT&T IoT Starter Kit supplies physical hardware and tools for developers to easily design, build, and manage their IoT projects. - **Global Iot Connectivity:** The prepaid SIM card in the AT&T IoT Starter Kit is compatible in over 200 countries, making it easier for developers to create global connected services. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Telecommunications:** Telecommunications companies can leverage IoT project kits to create innovative IoT solutions for their customers. - **Technology:** Technology companies can use IoT project kits to rapidly prototype and iterate on their IoT solutions. - **Manufacturing:** Manufacturing companies can incorporate IoT project kits into their processes for more efficient and connected operations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Introductory Connected Device Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plug-and-make-kit.md) - [Versatile Smart Sensor Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensor-starter-kit.md) - [Introductory IoT Tech Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arduino-iot-bundle.md) - [Digital Business Transformation Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onlogic-iot-connect-kit.md) - [Satellite IoT Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satellite-iot-technology.md) - [Cellular-Connected Smart Security Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/att-connected-life.md) - [IoT Application Enablement Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delphi360-platform.md) - [4G IoT Bus Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atrack-technology.md) - [IoT-Focused Satellite Deployments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-kite.md)
