SD-IoT

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to an ecosystem of physical objects ("things") embedded with computing devices, sensors, software, and network connectivity. It aims to enable data collection, transmission, exchange, and processing via the Internet, thereby achieving intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, monitoring, and management.

Introduction to the Internet of Things (IoT)

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a vast network of interconnected physical devices embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies that enable them to collect, exchange, and act on data over the internet. These "smart" devices range from everyday household objects (e.g., refrigerators, thermostats) to industrial machines (e.g., sensors in manufacturing plants), creating a seamless flow of information between the physical and digital worlds.



Key Components of IoT


1. Devices & Sensors: Hardware that detects changes in the environment (e.g., temperature, motion).
2. Connectivity: Networks (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G, LPWAN) that transmit data to the cloud or other devices.
3. Data Processing: Cloud platforms or edge computing systems analyze raw data to extract insights.
4. User Interface: Apps or dashboards that allow users to interact with IoT systems (e.g., smartphone controls for smart lights).

Advantages of IoT:

  • Enables network interconnection in mobile environments.
  • Supports rapid global deployment.
  • Facilitates real-time data transmission for operational control.
  • Enables device network access via embedded integration.
  • Cost-effective.
