What is the Internet of things?
The Internet of Things is really of everything. IoT is the network of physical objects or things embedded with electronics,software, sensors, and connectivity to enable objects to exchange data with the manufacturer, operator and/or other connected devices based on the infrastructure of International Telecommunication Union's Global Standards initiative. The internet of things allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing internet infrastructure. Experts have estimated that the IoT will consist of almost 50 billion objects by 2020.
typically, IoT is expected to offer advanced connectivity of devices, systems, and services that goes beyond machine-to-machine communications (M2M)and covers a variety of protocols, domains, and applications. The interconnection of these embedded devices (including smart objects), is expected to usher in automation in nearly all fields, while also enabling advanced applications like a smart Grid and expanding to the areas such as smart cities.
Things, in the ioT will refer to a wide range of devices such as heart monitoring implants, Biochip transponders on farm animal, fitness gear for the future. wireless indoor sensor, smart connected lighting, smart thermometers, wireless speakers, water sprinkling systems, this is just a few examples.
