  • IoT Sensors/ Devices

    Sensors collect data from the environment or any object. An IoT device consists of a sensor along with some Hardware, which can process or compute data coming from sensors and further communicates information from one place to another place through the internet or any other communication medium.

  • Connectivity and Communication

    Connectivity plays a vital role in an IoT System. It consists of two parts:

    • IoT Network Protocols
    • IoT Data Protocols

    Devices have to transfer the data collected to other devices or the cloud. In IoT, the layer that connects devices is named as network layer and we have diverse communication technologies to connect devices like Wi-Fi, Blue-tooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, LoRa, cellular network, etc.

    After Connecting to Network, devices communicate data using protocols like HTTP, MQTT, CoAP, WebSocket, etc.

  • Data Processing

    Data collected by IoT devices through sensors have to be analyzed to extract valuable insights from it and to make decisions based on that. Cloud offers Analytics Platform, Storage, and other back end services.

    Cloud offers IoT Platforms, which connects devices to the cloud and also provides Edge computing platforms where part of analytics or pre-processing can be deployed on the device on-premises.

  • Applications/ User Interface

    Sometimes, the user has to interact with devices, For that, we need a user-centric layer which performs various tasks for user and controls devices based on user input.

• How do you Connect Devices in the IoT Network?

  An IoT network is a network of interconnected devices or devices connected to the cloud, such a network of devices communicates with each other, implements actions, take decisions, and provides manageable secure infrastructure.

  There are many options for connecting devices and transmitting data between devices and Web/mobile applications. Some are Short Range and some are Long.

• What is Big Data and How it is Related to IoT?

  The term ‘Big data’ refers to a huge amount of data that cannot be managed with data processing techniques that are traditional. The data can be in any form- structured, semistructured, or unstructured. Big data generally described by 3vs concept – Volume, Velocity, and Variety.

  360DigiTMG the award-winning training institute offers a Internet of Things Course in Chennai, and other regions of India and become certified professionals.

  IoT’s main focus is on configuring and connecting devices so that they generate data and communicate that data. The real value of IoT lies in creating smarter devices and systems which deliver valuable insights and results in new business outcomes. As millions of smart devices connect to the internet and also with each other, the massive inflow of Big data (structured, unstructured, images, etc). IoT combined with Big data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables more and more smart systems.

  

• What are the Desired Characteristics an IoT System Should Have?

  Desired Characteristics:

  Dynamicity: IoT devices should adapt to changing contexts. IoT Devices once they are deployed they should be able to change their mode of operation based on changes in the environment they deployed.

  Zero Configurations (self-configuration): The self-configuration feature of Plug & Play allows a large number of devices to be connected with each other. Zero configuration supports the decentralized growth of IoT applications that are very simple and easy. The most desirable feature of IoT applications is the Auto- up-gradation of end devices.

  Unique Identity: Each IoT device should have a unique identifier and identity –individual addressable in a network of the device.

  Semantic Inter-Operability: Semantic interoperability helps IoT objects to understand each other, various devices have the ability to access and interpret the data. IoT devices are supposed to support numerous interoperable common protocols.

  Being a IoT is just a step away. Check out the Internet of Things Training in Bangalore at 360DigiTMG and get certified today.

  Integration into the Information Network: IoT end devices are interconnected and integrated into a common network –this allows them to exchange data with other devices and systems.

  Ambient and Collective Intelligence: IoT offers a special application where it can connect to billions, trillions to offer Collective intelligence though it has individual intelligence.
