Even North Korea Is Getting in on the Internet of Things

North Korea is the next stop on the Internet of Things tour of world domination. State television has revealed that the country made a product, the Star Group device, which allows workers to remotely operate machinery in factories with a custom-built seven-inch tablet that runs on its own software. The Star Group device is said to run a modified version of the Windows CE operating system used in simple devices like ATMs or satellite navigations tools. North Korea calls this software the “Human Machine Interface” and says that both the HMI and the hardware on which it runs were developed within its borders.
