INTERNET OF THINGS

INTERNET  OF THINGS 

       IOT  represents the Internet of Things that describes the network of physical objects, it means "things" that are embedded with software, sensors and some other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and system over the internet.

        It can also be defined as ,it integrates the interconnectedness of human culture-our 'things' with the interconnectedness of our digital information system 'the internet'.

       The term "Internet of things" was coined by Kevin Ashton , in 1999 during his work at Procter and Gamble. He is called as the father of IOT.

       The IOT was initially most interesting to business and manufacturing, where its application is sometimes known as machine to machine , but the emphasis is now on filling our houses and offices with smart devices, transforming it into something that's relevant to almost everyone.

How it works?

       An IOT system consists of devices , sensors which 'talk' to the cloud through some kind of internet connectivity. Once the data received by the cloud ,software processes it and then might to decide to perform an action, such as sending an alert or automatically adjusting the sensor or devices without the need for the users.

      IOT devices use a variety of methods to connect and share the data . Most of them use some form of wireless connectivity:homes and offices will use Wi-Fi , Zigbee,other devices will use LTE, LTE-M etc.,

       In the next few years , one  area of growth will undoubtedly be the use of 5G networks to support IOT projects. 5G offers the ability to fit as many as one million 5G devices in a square kilometre which means , that it will be possible to use large number of sensors in a very small area , making large scale industrial IOT developments as possible.

      Today so many technologies that enable IOT. The IOT is making the fabric of the world around us more smarter and more responsive, merging the digital an physicl universes.This IOT promises to make our environment , our houses and offices and vehicles smarter and more measurable.
