Characteristics of Internet of things (IoT)

 

There are 7 crucial IoT characteristics:

Connectivity.

 This doesn’t need too much further explanation. With everything going on in IoT devices and hardware, with sensors and other electronics and connected hardware and control systems there needs to be a connection between various levels.

Things. 

Anything that can be tagged or connected as such as it’s designed to be connected. From sensors and household appliances to tagged livestock. Devices can contain sensors or sensing materials can be attached to devices and items.

Data.

 Data is the glue of the Internet of Things, the first step towards action and intelligence.

Communication. 

Devices get connected so they can communicate data and this data can be analyzed. Communication can occur over short distances or over a long range to very long range. Examples: Wi-Fi, LPWA network technologies such as LoRa or NB-IoT.

Intelligence. 

The aspect of intelligence as in the sensing capabilities in IoT devices and the intelligence gathered from big data analytics (also artificial intelligence).

Action. 

The consequence of intelligence. This can be manual action, action based upon debates regarding phenomena (for instance in smart factory decisions) and automation, often the most important piece.

Ecosystem. 

The place of the Internet of Things from a perspective of other technologies, communities, goals and the picture in which the Internet of Things fits. The Internet of Everything dimension, the platform dimension and the need for solid partnerships.

Difference between IoT and M2M

  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. Difference between IoT and M2M : Basis of IoT M2M Abbreviation Internet of T...

  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.

Modern day Internet of Things (IoT) applications

Image
  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 ...
