IoT - Internet of Things

What is IoT?

IoT is short for Internet of Things.

         

The Internet of Things refers to the ever-growing network of physical objects that feature an IP address for internet connectivity, and the communication that occurs between these objects and other Internet-enabled devices and systems.

All people connected with the internet make up an important network together.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is expanding at a fast pace and some reports predict that IoT devices will grow to 26 billions by 2020, which are 30 times the estimated number of devices deployed in 2009 and is far more than the 7.3 billion smart phones, tablets and PCs that are expected to be in use by 2020.

Moreover, some forecasts anticipate a fourfold growth in Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connections in the next years (from 780 million in 2016 to 3.3 billion by 2021), which may be related to a broad spectrum of applications like home automation , transportation , defense and public safety, wearable or augmented reality .
