Internet of things

  1. Internet of Things : IoT is known as the Internet of Things where things are said to be the communicating devices that can interact with each other using communication media. Usually every day some new devices are being integrated which uses IoT devices for their function. These devices use various sensors and actuators for sending and receiving data over the internet. It is an ecosystem where the devices share data through a communication media known as the internet. 2. Machine to Machine : This is commonly known as Machine to machine communication. It is a concept where two or more two machines communicate with each other without human interaction using a wired or wireless mechanism. M2M is a technology that helps devices to connect between devices without using the internet. M2M communications offer several applications such as security, tracking and tracing, manufacturing, and facility management.

  What is M2M? Machine-to-machine communication, or M2M, is exactly as it sounds: two machines “communicating,” or exchanging data, without human interfacing or interaction. This includes serial connection, powerline connection (PLC), or  wireless communications in the industrial Internet of Things  (IoT). Switching over to wireless has made M2M communication much easier and enabled more applications to be connected. In general, when someone says M2M communication, they often are referring to cellular communication for embedded devices. Examples of M2M communication, in this case, would be vending machines sending out inventory information or ATM machines getting authorization to dispense cash. As businesses have realized the value of M2M, it has taken on a new name:  the Internet of Things (IoT) . IoT and M2M have similar promises: to fundamentally change the way the world operates. Just like IoT, M2M allows virtually any sensor to communicate, which opens up the po...

  IoT applications  promise to bring immense value into our lives. With newer wireless networks, superior sensors, and revolutionary computing capabilities, the  Internet of Things  could be the next frontier in the race for its share of the wallet.  IoT applications are expected to equip billions of everyday objects with connectivity and intelligence. IoT Applications Wearables Smart Home Applications Health Care Smart Cities Agriculture Industrial Automation 1. IoT Applications – Wearables Wearable technology is a hallmark of IoT applications and probably is one of the earliest industries to have deployed the IoT at its service. We happen to see Fit Bits, heart rate monitors, and smartwatches everywhere these days. One of the lesser-known wearables includes the Guardian glucose monitoring device. The device is developed to aid people suffering from diabetes. It detects glucose levels in the body, using a tiny electrode called a glucose sensor placed under the ...

IoT Enablers A prerequisite that unleashes the potential of the Internet of Things (IoT) for the masses is the practical viability for IoT Systems and Applications Enablers to enable new Things to connect and communicate over the Internet. Enablers generate most of the innovative solutions for IoT and Internet-enabled cyber-physical systems, as well as smart environments, which is what people first want.   Who is IoT Enablers? System installers, repairers, craftsmen, electricians, plumbers, designers, and do-it-yourselfers who connect devices and systems to the Internet for personal use and for commercial and other business uses.   The key enablers of IoT considered are: (i) Electronic Product Code Global (EPCglobal), (ii) Wireless Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (WirelessHART), (iii) ZigBee, (iv) Near Field Communication (NFC), (v) IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN), and (vi) Developers’ Alliance for Standards Harmonization (Dash...

  In this article, we discuss the  Physical and Logical Design of IoT .  Physical Design of IoT  systems refers to IoT Devices and IoT Protocols. Things are Node device which has unique identities and can perform remote sensing, actuating and monitoring capabilities. Communication established between things and cloud-based servers over the Internet by various IoT protocols. The logical  design of IoT systems  refers to an abstract representation of the entities & processes without going into the low-level specifies of the implementation.
