The Internet of Things (IoT) is creating a lot of buzz at the moment, and its impact ranges from the way we travel and shop to the way manufacturers keep track of inventory.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is thriving and evolving rapidly across multiple industries. In today's digital age, data-driven intelligence is transforming old businesses into new ones and creating new segments. Changing our lives and interactions with day-to-day activities is the impact of the Internet of Things.
The Internet of Things comprises all devices connected to each other through the Internet. The advent of inexpensive computer chips and high bandwidth telecommunication has enabled billions of physical devices worldwide to connect to the Internet.
IoT is a gigantic network of connected things and people that gather and share data about how they and their environment are used. These smart objects are capable of sovereignly transmitting and receiving data.
Data processing and analytics are made possible by the Internet of Things bringing the power of the Internet to the world of physical objects. As these objects are connected and equipped with sensors, they gain a level of digital intelligence that would otherwise be impossible, allowing them to communicate with one another in real-time.
Digital and physical worlds are merging as the Internet of Things make the fabric of the world around us smarter and more responsive.
The basic working principle of IoT systems is the collection and exchange of data in real-time.
TVs, security cameras, and exercise equipment are part of the Internet of Things ecosystem that gathers, sends, and acts on data obtained from their environment.
Through IoT gateways or other edge devices, sensors share the sensor data they collect so the data can be analyzed on the cloud or locally. Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) enable the analysis of these data and make informed decisions. On the cloud, these decisions are communicated back to the IoT device, which responds intelligently based on the inputs.
The devices do most of the work without human assistance, but people can use them to set up, give instructions, or access data.
In most cases, the connectivity, networking, and communication protocols required for these web-enabled devices will be dictated by the specific IoT applications deployed.
Alibaba Cloud IoT Platform allows IoT companies to communicate reliably with connected devices. The IoT Platform is equipped with nodes worldwide that allow devices to communicate with it rapidly and with low latency.
