 IoT – An Introduction
Smart devices that communicate with each other

Enables these devices to collect and exchange data

Wide range of life applications such as industry, transportation, logistics,

healthcare, smart environment.
 Layered Architecture of IoT
Perception Layer

Network layer

Middle-ware layer

Application layer
 Layers Overview
Perception Layer
Identification of the unique objects and dealing with its collected data
obtained

Network Layer
Transmission of gathered information to processing system via network
