The Internet of Things (IoT) is made possible by a combination of technologies, including:
1. Sensors and actuators: These devices are used to collect data from the physical world and send it to IoT devices for processing.
2. Connectivity technologies: IoT devices need to be connected to a network in order to transmit data. This is typically done using wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular networks.
3. Cloud computing: IoT devices generate a large amount of data, which needs to be stored, processed and analysed. Cloud computing provides the necessary infrastructure to handle this data.
4. Edge computing: Edge computing enables data processing on devices at the edge of the network, rather than sending all data to a central location for processing. This reduces latency and allows for real-time decision making.
5. Artificial intelligence and machine learning: These technologies are used to analyse the data generated by IoT devices and make decisions based on that data.
6.
Blockchain: This technology is used to ensure
secure and transparent communication between IoT devices and other system
components.
