IoT Technology and Protocols
◈ Several Communication Protocols and Technology used in the internet of
Things. Some of the major IoT technology and protocol (IoT
Communication Protocols) are Bluetooth, Wifi, Radio Protocols, LTE-A, and
WiFi-Direct.

◈ These IoT communication protocols cater to and meet the specific


functional requirement of an IoT system.
BLUETOOTH
◈ An important short-range IoT communications Protocols / Technology. Bluetooth,
which has become very important in computing and many consumer product
markets. It is expected to be key for wearable products in particular, again
connecting to the IoT albeit probably via a smartphone in many cases.

◈ The new Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) – or Bluetooth Smart, as it is now branded


– is a significant protocol for IoT applications. Importantly, while it offers a
similar range to Bluetooth it has been designed to offer significantly reduced
power consumption.
BLUETOOTH Role
ZIGBEE
◈ ZigBee is similar to Bluetooth and is majorly used in industrial settings. It
has some significant advantages in complex systems offering low-power
operation, high security, robustness and high and is well positioned to take
advantage of wireless control and sensor networks in IoT applications.

◈ The latest version of ZigBee is the recently launched 3.0, which is essentially
the unification of the various ZigBee wireless standards into a single
standard.

Z - Wave

◈ Z-Wave is a low-power RF communications IoT technology that primarily


design for home automation for products such as lamp controllers and
sensors among many other devices.
◈ A Z-Wave uses a simpler protocol than some others, which can enable faster
and simpler development, but the only maker of chips is Sigma Designs
compared to multiple sources for other wireless technologies such as ZigBee
and others.
Z - Wave
WIFI
◈ Wi-Fi
◈ WiFi connectivity is one of the most popular IoT communication protocol, often
an obvious choice for many developers, especially given the availability of WiFi
within the home environment within LANs.
◈ There is a wide existing infrastructure as well as offering fast data transfer and the
ability to handle high quantities of data.
◈ Currently, the most common WiFi standard used in homes and many businesses
is 802.11n, which offers range of hundreds of megabit per second, which is fine for
file transfers but may be too power-consuming for many IoT applications.
CELLULAR

◈ Any IoT application that requires operation over longer distances can take
advantage of GSM/3G/4G cellular communication capabilities. While cellular is
clearly capable of sending high quantities of data, especially for 4G, the cost and
also power consumption will be too high for many applications.
◈ But it can be ideal for sensor-based low-bandwidth-data projects that will send
very low amounts of data over the Internet.
