Introduction to IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a transformative technology paradigm that connects
everyday objects and devices to the internet, enabling them to collect, exchange, and
analyze data, and interact with each other and with the external environment. IoT has
the potential to revolutionize industries, improve efficiency, and enhance quality of
life by creating smart, interconnected ecosystems of devices and systems.

At its core, IoT consists of three main components:

 Sensors and Devices: IoT devices are embedded with sensors, actuators, and
communication modules that allow them to monitor, measure, and interact with the
physical world. These devices can range from simple sensors like temperature
sensors and motion detectors to complex systems such as smart appliances,
wearables, and industrial machinery.

 Connectivity: IoT devices communicate with each other and with backend systems
over various communication protocols and networks, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
cellular, Zigbee, and LoRaWAN. Connectivity enables data exchange, remote
control, and real-time monitoring of IoT devices, regardless of their location.

 Data Processing and Analytics: IoT generates vast amounts of data from sensors
and devices, often referred to as "big data." This data is processed, analyzed, and
transformed into actionable insights using cloud computing platforms, edge
computing infrastructure, and data analytics tools. By analyzing IoT data,
organizations can derive valuable insights, optimize operations, and make data-
driven decisions.

Key characteristics of IoT include:
