Internet of Things Applications

Internet of Things (IoT) is a paradigm that considers pervasive presence in the environment of a variety of things/objects that through wireless and wired connections and unique addressing schemes are able to interact with each other and cooperate with other things/objects to create new applications/services and reach common goals. The Internet of Things applications drive the intelligence to the edge of the system by sensing/actuating the environment using intelligent sensors/actuators (analog and digital) that are communicating using IP to improve performance and efficiency by collecting and processing the information and coupling massive sensing and control with big data and analytics to accomplish advanced levels of optimization and efficiency. The IoT makes use of synergies that are generated by the convergence of consumer, business and industrial internet consumer, business and industrial internet. The convergence creates the open, global network connecting people, information, and things. This convergence leverages the cloud/fog to connect intelligent things that sense and transmit a broad array of data, helping creating services that would not be obvious without this level of connectivity and analytical intelligence. .ien.eu
