What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?

The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the network of physical- “things” - that are embedded with sensors, software and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the internet. This includes:

How does IoT work?

Sensors

These gadgets communicate with the outside physical world. They gather and store the data that is affected by external influences. A sensor registers changes in the environment and detects them.

Connectivity

All IoT devices, including sensors, routers, gateways, user apps, and media, must be connected to each other to function how they’re supposed to.

Data Processing

When all the data has been transmitted to the platform, functions are run on it to process it and provide back to the required outputs.

User Experience

The output end-users view on their screens is provided by the stage, which is close to the user. Each IoT device has a unique interface.
