Zebra Technologies

Top Executive: Anders Gustafsson, CEO

Zebra Technologies specializes in the building blocks behind today's Internet of Things technology, particularly in the automatic identification and data capture market -- including sensors, bar codes, RFID and wireless networks.

Zebra has been delving deeper into IoT, particularly in 2014 through its purchase of Motorola Solutions' enterprise business for $3.45 billion to build up its RFID hardware portfolio.

The Lincolnshire, Ill.-based company's IoT platform, dubbed Zatar, provides a standards-based approach to connectivity and control of devices, along with open APIs to cre­ate apps, on-board devices and enable collaboration.
