IoT stands for Internet of Things, which means accessing and controlling daily usable equipment and devices using Internet.
What is IoT?
Let’s us look closely at our mobile device which contains GPS Tracking, Mobile Gyroscope, Adaptive brightness, Voice detection, Face detection etc. These components have their own individual features, but what about if these all communicate with each other to provide a better environment? For example:- the phone brightness is adjusted based on by GPS location or by direction.
Connecting everyday things embedded with electronics, software, and sensors to internet enabling to collect and exchange data without human interaction called as the Internet of Things.
The term “Things” in the Internet of Things refers to anything and everything in day to day life which is accessed or connected through the internet.
Features
The most important features of this on which it works are connectivity, analyzing, integrating, active engagement, and many more.
Connectivity
Connectivity refers to establish a proper connection between all the things of IoT to IoT platform it may be server or cloud. After connecting the IoT devices, it needs a high speed messaging between the devices and cloud to enable reliable, secure and bi-directional communication.
Analyzing
After connecting all the relevant things, it comes to real-time analyzing the data collected and use them to build effective business intelligence. If we have a good insight into data gathered from all these things, then we call our system has a smart system.
Integrating
It’s integrating the various models to improve the user experience as well.
Sensing
The sensor devices used in IoT technologies detect and measure any change in the environment and report on their status. IoT technology brings passive networks to active networks. Without sensors, there could not hold an effective or true IoT environment.
Endpoint Management
It is important to be the endpoint management of all the IoT system otherwise, it makes the complete failure of the system. For example, if a coffee machine itself order the coffee beans when it goes to end but what happens when it orders the beans from a retailer and we are not present at home for a few days, it leads to the failure of the IoT system. So, there must be a need for endpoint management.
