1PROPOSED MODEL FOR IOT IMPLEMENTATION
Summary
The objective of this report is to discuss about the key components of Internet of Things
(IoT), what constitute IoT and how it should be implemented. After briefing about IoT, the
study dives deep into what comprises an IoT system, common challenges faced by companies
and organizations in implementing it. Thereafter the solution is provided with the help of a
network diagram, the working of which is explained below. Then comes the recommended
section where the report provides the necessary suggestions as per observations drawn from
the analysis. Following which the report concludes that the challenges should carefully be
looked into for proper implementation of IoT.

Introduction
The report begins by briefly touching on Internet of Things in general and talks about
how things work. After having explained the actuators, sensors and WSNs the report focusses
on five key challenges in implementing an IoT system where every challenge is carefully
touched, following which the study provides the solution with the help of a completely
custom-made network diagram and mentions the modes of communications at play. After
explaining the working of the suggested IoT system, the study provides recommendations
based on the observations made and then ends after writing concluding notes where the
necessary observations drawn are given.
Discussion
Internet of things (IoT)
Internet of things (IoT) is all about systems concerning interrelating components like
digital devices, mechanical equipment, computing and electronic devices, animals, people as
also objects which come with uniquely identifiable tags also called UIDs (Riahi et al., 2013).
These also possess abilities of transferring data through the network without relying on
human assistance or even any kind of exchanges between the human and the computer.
Sensor Actuator Network (SANET)
Sensors and actuators are devices which facilitate interactions between smart devices
and the physical world (Lu et al., 2016). Actuators are the ones which effectively manipulates
systems that alter the physical environment like temperature control valves that can be
modified by the smart home IoT technology (Stojkoska & Trivodaliev, 2017). Actuators
work by accepting electrical inputs and transforming the same into tangible actions.
Technologies like these collect hefty amounts of data, which can be of immense value for
enterprises when after it gets successfully stored, processed and analysed.
