MODULE 6 : Internet of Things and Its Applications

LESSON 64-68 : Internet of things (IOT)

Objectives

At the end of this lesson you shall be able to:
• introduction about IOT
• state about history, components, role, characteristics, of IOT
• explain about future of IOT
• explain about functions and advantages of IOT.

Internet of Things (IoT) is the networking of physical objects that contain electronics embedded within
their architecture to communicate and sense interactions amongst each other or with respect to the external
environment. In the upcoming years, IoT-based technology will offer advanced levels of services and practically
change the way people lead their daily lives. Advancements in medicine, power, gene therapies, agriculture,
smart cities, and smart homes are just a few of the categorical examples where IoT is strongly established.
Internet of Things Devices are non-standard devices that connect wirelessly to a network with each other and can
transfer the data. IoT devices are enlarging the internet connectivity beyond standard devices such as smartphones,
laptops, tablets, and desktops. Embedding these devices with technology enables us to communicate and interact
over the networks and they can be remotely monitored and controlled.

There are large varieties of IoT devices available based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard. These devices range from
wireless motes, attachable sensor-boards to interface-boards which are useful for researchers and developers.
IoT devices include computer devices, software, wireless sensors, and actuators. These IoT devices are connected
over the internet and enable the data transfer among objects or people automatically without human intervention.
