Learn Spanish (Latin America): Podremos conectar ese sensor a la red. - We will be able to connect that sensor to the network.

Poder (to be able to / can) has an irregular stem in the future tense. Normally, you form the future tense by adding endings directly to the full infinitive. But for poder, you drop the "e" to get the stem podr-, and then add the regular "we" future ending -emos. That gives us podremos.

Why is conectar (to connect) not conjugated in the future tense too?

When two verbs are used together to express a single action or idea, only the first verb is conjugated. Because we already conjugated the first verb into podremos (we will be able to), the second verb conectar must stay in its infinitive (dictionary) form.

Why does this sentence use ese sensor instead of eso sensor for "that sensor"?

Ese is the masculine singular word for "that" when it comes directly before a noun, matching the masculine noun sensor. You only use eso when you are talking about an abstract idea, a situation, or an unknown object. Eso never sits right next to a noun!

Does la red mean "the internet" here?

It certainly can! La red literally translates to "the net" or "the network." Depending on the context, it can refer to a physical net (like a fishing net), an electrical grid, a local computer network, or the Internet itself. In the context of connecting a sensor, it usually refers to a wireless or computer network.
