What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?

The term IoT or Internet of Things refers to an integrated network of interconnected devices and the technology that facilitates communication between devices and the cloud. as well as between the devices themselves With the emergence of inexpensive computer chips and high-bandwidth telecommunications As a result, we now have billions of devices connected to the internet. This means that the devices Everyday things like toothbrushes, vacuum cleaners, cars and machines can use sensors to collect data and respond intelligently to users. 

The Internet of Things integrates everyday “things” with the Internet. Computer engineers have been adding sensors and processors to everyday objects since the 1990s. However, early progress was slow because chips were large and unwieldy. It uses low-power computer chips called RFID tags for the first time to track expensive devices. As computing devices become smaller Over time, these chips are getting smaller, faster, and smarter.

The cost of putting a processor into a small object is now significantly lower. For example, you can add connectivity to Alexa voice services to an MCU with less than 1 watt of embedded RAM. MB like light switches, an entire industry has grown up focused on creating IoT devices for our homes, businesses, and offices. These smart appliances can automatically send data to and from the internet.
