Chapter 1: Understanding Internet of Things
Real time communication between the physical devices through the internet is managed by
Internet of things. Sensors are used for increasing the communication, monitoring, and
control over the devices. IOT technology is the advanced platform for inducing the wireless
sensor networks, automation, and the control system (Vermesan, and Friess, 2015).
Smartphones are utilized for connectivity with the real time changing environment.
Integration of computing devices is synchronised through the unique identifiers in bringing
person to person and person to computer interaction. Accuracy and privacy in the transfer of
data and information are the prerequisite for the IOT interaction environment. Smart devices
are embedded in the physical infrastructure for accessing the required information from the
real time environment (Maple, 2017). Accessibility and reachability of the data is getting
increased by using the communication protocols. The diagram below shows the IOT
infrastructure set up for collecting the data from IOT devices.
Integration of the IOT devices is managed through the common platform for reaching to the
specific goal and objectives. IOT environment is beneficial for organizations because it is
helpful for monitoring and controlling the interaction between the data objects and processes,
improving the user experience by providing accurate and reliable data and information, helps
