Definition of IoT
• What is IoT?
• ITU Definition:
• "A global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by
interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on existing and evolving,
interoperable information and communication technologies."
• IEEE Definitions:
• Small Environment:
"An IoT is a network that connects uniquely identifiable 'things' to the Internet. The
'things' have sensing/actuation and potential programmability capabilities. Through
the exploitation of the unique identification and sensing, information about the
'thing' can be collected and the state of the 'thing' can be changed from anywhere,
anytime, by anything.”
Key Characteristics:
• Connectivity: IoT involves connecting physical and virtual things to
the internet.
• Sensing and Actuation: Devices can sense their environment and
perform actions based on data collected.
• Unique Identification: Each 'thing' is uniquely identifiable, enabling
precise control and monitoring.
• Interoperability: The ability to work seamlessly across different
systems and networks.
• Data Capture and Communication: Continuous data exchange
between devices and systems.
