DEFINITION

Understanding the Internet of Things (IoT)

The Internet of Things (IoT) is all about connecting everyday objects to the internet, allowing them to collect and exchange data. This creates a network of "smart" devices that can communicate with each other and with us, making our lives easier, more efficient, and more connected.

Key components of IoT

Devices (the "things")

smartphones, wearables, household appliances, industrial machines, vehicles, etc.

Connectivity

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular networks, or other communication protocols.

Data

to provide insights or trigger actions.

How IoT works

  • 1. IoT devices collect data from their environment using sensors (e.g., temperature, location, motion).
  • 2. The data is transmitted to the cloud or a central hub via the internet.
  • 3.The data is processed and analyzed to extract meaningful insights.
  • 4. Based on the analysis, actions can be triggered, such as sending alerts, automating tasks, or adjusting settings.
