Foundation of IoT: An Overview

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

The advancement in technology has depreciated the size of the gadget by leaps and bounds during the last few decades. The usage and dependence of human beings on electronic gadgets has grown exponentially with the passage of time. The substantial scaling of such kind of devices gave birth to a new technology called ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) in the year 1999. The concept of IoT adheres to the need of round the clock and ubiquitous connectivity. It provides means for establishing interconnectivity and interactions between such devices. IoT has carved out the path for new innovations leading to novel type of communication among humans and things. The interactions would enable the realization of services utilizing these resources for improving the quality of life. This chapter is an attempt in this direction with the basic introduction of IoT, basic architectures, challenges and the plethora of services provided by IoT.
