WHAT IS IOT?
 The Internet of things (IoT) describes physical objects (or groups of such
objects) with sensors, processing ability, software and other technologies that
connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet or
other communications networks Internet of things has been considered a
misnomer because devices do not need to be connected to the public internet,
they only need to be connected to a network, and be individually addressable.
 The field has evolved due to the convergence of multiple technologies, including
ubiquitous computing, commodity sensors, increasingly powerful embedded
systems, as well as machine learning.Traditional fields of embedded systems,
wireless sensor networks, control systems, automation (including home and
building automation), independently and collectively enable the Internet of
things. In the consumer market, IoT technology is most synonymous with
products pertaining to the concept of the "smart home", including devices and
appliances (such as lighting fixtures, thermostats, home security systems,
cameras, and other home appliances) that support one or more common
ecosystems, and can be controlled via devices associated with that ecosystem,
such as smartphones and smart speakers. IoT is also used in healthcare systems.

HISTORY OF IOT
• Although examples of interconnected electronic devices exist as far back as the early 19th century, with the invention of the telegraph and its ability to transmit
information by coded signal over distance, the origins of the IoT date to the late 1960s. It was then that a group of prominent researchers began exploring ways
to connect computers and systems.A prime example of this work was ARPANET, the network created by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of
the U.S. Defense Department; this network was a forerunner of today’s Internet. In the late 1970s businesses, governments, and consumers began exploring
ways to connect personal computers (PCs) and other machines to one another. By the 1980s local area networks (LANs) provided an effective and widely used
way to communicate and share documents, data, and other information across a group of PCs in real time.
• By the mid-1990s the Internet extended those capabilities globally, and researchers and technologists began exploring ways that humans and machines could
better connect. In 1997 British technologist Kevin Ashton, cofounder of the Auto-ID Center at MIT, began exploring a technology framework, radio-
frequency identification (RFID), that would allow physical devices to connect via microchips and wireless signals, and it was in a speech in 1999 that Ashton
coined the phrase “the Internet ofThings.” Within a few years smartphones, cloud computing, advancements in processing power, and improved software
algorithms had created a framework for collecting, storing, processing, and sharing data in a more robust way.
• At the same time, sophisticated sensors appeared that could measure motion, temperature, moisture levels, wind direction, sound, light, images, vibrations, and
numerous other conditions—along with the ability to pinpoint a person or a device through geolocation.These developments made possible the ability to
communicate with both digital devices and physical objects in real time. For example, by adding a tracking chip, such as an Apple AirTag to an object such as a
wallet or suitcase, it is possible to view its location.The same chip built into a digital device can track its whereabouts if lost or stolen.Then, with the widespread
adoption of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets and the introduction of pervasive wireless connectivity, it was possible to connect people and things
in a near ubiquitous way.As a result, smart traffic networks, connected storage tanks, and industrial robotics systems became the

WHAT ARE IOT PLATFORMS?
 To get value from IoT, it helps to have a platform to create and manage applications, to run analytics, and to
store and secure your data. Essentially, these platforms do a lot of things in the background to make life
easier and less expensive for developers, managers, and users—in much the same way as an operating system
for a laptop.They handle issues like connecting and extracting data from many different endpoints, which
might be in inconvenient locations with spotty connectivity.
 If you are trying to choose an IoT platform, you’ll need a good understanding of your company’s IoT strategy.
Here are five characteristics to consider when evaluating IoT platforms:
 Applications environment. Here, you might examine questions like: Can the platform develop, test, and
maintain multiple applications? Can it connect easily to the applications your company already uses, for
example, for enterprise resource planning?
 Data management.When weighing this element, it’s helpful to understand if the platform can structure and
join multiple unfamiliar data sets, for example.
 Ownership of cloud infrastructure. Does the infrastructure provider own and operate its own data centers,
or which public cloud provider does it use? (See “What is cloud computing?” for even more on this topic.)
 Security.What commercial-grade authentication, encryption, and monitoring capability does the platform
have, and are they distinctive?
 Edge processing and control. Here, you could examine whether the platform can do edge analytics, without
first bringing data into the cloud, or whether it can be easily configured to control local assets without
human intervention.

FUTURE IOTTECHNOLOGIES
We are going to look at the future of the IoT and what we can expect in the next five years.
Internet ofThings (IoT):The IoT is an abbreviation for the term “Internet ofThings.” It is a technology that enables items such as appliances, cars, and even furniture to connect with each
other through sensors.When the term is used, it means that the IoT will let devices connect with each other and exchange data.The connected devices will be able to communicate with each
other so that they can work together.The IoT has been around for a long time, but it hasn’t really been mainstream until the last few years. IoT has taken off and will continue to grow in the
coming years, especially as more people adopt it and companies invest more in it. Companies like Google and Apple have invested heavily in this technology because they know its potential.
And considering how rapidly this technology is growing, you shouldn’t be too far off from maximizing your business potential by adopting IoT for your company.
IoT inTransportation:The IoT is already making an impact in the transportation industry.This can be seen with companies like Audi which has partnered with a German logistics company to
allow vehicles to communicate with one another and their surroundings. Not only does this mean fewer accidents, but it also leads to major cost savings for these companies.What’s even more
interesting is how the IoT will affect public transportation systems in the future.With things like driverless cars, we could see a major shift in how transportation works.The IoT has helped
make driving safer, so it’s likely that it will do the same for public transportation routes in the near future.
IoT in Manufacturing: One of the most prevalent uses for the IoT is in manufacturing.The IoT can be used to monitor and improve the production process, especially when it comes to quality
control.While a lot of people are aware that the internet of things has potential for manufacturing, they may not know how widespread its use will be.There are already over 14 million devices
connected to the internet in North America alone.With this many devices, we can expect to see a large increase in the use of IoT
-based solutions for everything from monitoring inventory and
managing customer relationships to improving logistics . In fact, by end of 2022, there are expected to be around 25 billion devices connected to IoT networks globally.That’s an astounding
number! And this means that we can expect even more advances in technology as new solutions are developed to better utilize this connectivity.
IoT in Agriculture:Agriculture has been using IoT technology for some time now.There are a few different ways that it can be used in this field of work. For example, farmers can use sensors to
monitor environmental conditions and measure crop production.These sensors transmit the data wirelessly to a computer for analysis.This information is then used to make adjustments to
farming practices, such as watering and fertilizing more often or less often.Another way IoT can be used in agriculture includes irrigation systems that help farmers with their water
conservation efforts. One major problem with today’s agricultural methods is the amount of water they consume. Farmers are using more than 70 percent of the world’s freshwater supply,
according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).This can lead to problems like water shortages and climate change.
IoT in Energy: One of the potential applications for the IoT is in energy sector. In fact, as we approach 2023, there’s going to be a lot more focus on how IoT can be used in the energy sector
This is because both devices and electric grids are evolving to become more intelligent. For example, one electric grid might be able to communicate with another electric grid in order to
optimize its power supply So, how is this going to impact you?Well, it’ll save you money by ensuring that you don’t waste electricity by running your home appliances when they aren’t needed.
And it saves companies money by enabling them to use less energy than they would have without using an intelligent system like this.This information is shared among all of the connected
grids so no one wastes electricity or natural resources.
The Final Word The IoT has a lot of potentials, and it’s not just limited to devices that have connectivity. It encompasses everything from customer relationship management to logistics.The
truth is, there’s a lot more to the IoT than many people realize. It will be interesting to see how this technology develops over the next few years and what industries it will impact in the future.
