IoT ( Internet of Things) Fundamentals & Frontiers

Overview:

Estimates for Internet of Things or IoT market value are massive, since by definition the IoT is an integrated and diffused layer of devices, sensors, and computing power that overlays entire consumer, business-to-business, and government industries. Total IoT devices already exceeded 5B and by 2025, that will exceed 80B.

In the consumer space, many products and services have already crossed over into the IoT, including kitchen and home appliances, parking, RFID, lighting and heating products, and a number of applications in Industrial Internet.

The underlying technologies of IoT are nothing new as M2M communication existed since the birth of Internet. What changed in last couple of years is the emergence of number of inexpensive wireless technologies added by overwhelming adaptation of smart phones and Tablet in every home. Explosive growth of mobile devices led to present demand of IoT.
