The Internet of Things

• The IoT can be the part of following by optimizing resource utilization:
• Smart Cities, Smart Buildings, Smart Transportation, Smart Health, Smart
Energy etc.
• IoT mainly consists of integration of following things:
• Sensors, Actuators, Microcontrollers, Communication Protocols and
Computing Technologies

• The lower part of IoT pyramid is edge

devices.
• This type of devices are mainly sensors,
microcontrollers, actuators and various
communication devices.
• Edge devices are connected with
gateways or Hub devices.
• Gate ways control the edge devices and
forward the necessary information to
cloud.
• Based on the location of edge devices,
different communication protocols are
mainly used for transmission to cloud
devices.
• Such communication protocols are like
wifi, zigbee, Bluetooth etc.
