What is it?

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of physical objects ("things") embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the internet. These devices range from ordinary household objects to sophisticated industrial tools. The increasing prevalence of IoT devices is fueled by advancements in low-power wireless communication, cloud computing, and data analytics.

Key aspects of the IoT include:

• Connectivity: IoT devices are connected to the internet, often using technologies like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular networks (e.g., 5G), or low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) such as LoRaWAN and Sigfox.
• Sensors: Sensors collect data about the physical environment, such as temperature, pressure, light, motion, or location.
• Data Analytics: The data collected by sensors is processed and analyzed to extract valuable insights and trigger automated actions.
• Automation: Based on the analysis of data, IoT systems can automate tasks and processes without human intervention.
• Security: Securing IoT devices and the data they collect is crucial to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security threats.
