with a method that involved spectrum management that will help in gaining protection from a
different type of security issues. The new and creative ideas related to the application based
upon the internet of things are discussed. However, different researchers proposed different
technique and method that can be used for the application related to the internet of things.
IoT is also identified as the internet of everything as it helps in connecting everything.
It serves as a global platform for all the devices and machines to connect and communicate
(Thierer 2015). It also comprises of certain technical and managerial challenges. IoT
technologies are important for the development of IoT related devices. With the advancement
of the internet of things, the cities comprise of all the smart devices. The smart cities are
evolving with the introduction of IoT devices. The IoT environment helps in establishing the
geographical position related to the analyzing system. IoT helps in the transparent working of
different heterogeneous end systems. The architecture of the IoT is a complex task. The
framework is made to establish IoT in the urban regions (Perera et al., 2015). The mission of
the IoT is to develop urban cities into smart cities. However, certain models utilize the IoT in
the best possible ways.
IoT plays a vital role in the expansion of smart cities. The aim of the IoT is
connectivity from everywhere with the help of internet. One of the major elements of the IoT
is the sensor networks. With the emerging of IoT, the interest in sharing applications is
increased. With the help of the internet, human creative ideas are showcased easily. The IoT
is more reliable and dynamic in nature. IoT will provide opportunities to connect with the
virtual world on the hand cloud computing will help in the storage purpose (Bahga and
Madisetti 2016). The society is looking forward to user-friendly technologies. The IoT helps
in establishing a user-friendly environment and helps in building a wireless sensor system.
However, it is seen that different methods and models are proposed to design different device
based on the internet of things.

IoT is one of the important invention related to several services and applications. IoT
is the reflection of the real world. The IoT is a representation of the revolution in the global
platform. Introduces vision for future internet users. IoT uses several concepts related to its
implementation. The IoT promises to develop the capabilities of the objects. With the support
of the IoT the network, connectivity can be made easily. The advancement in technology has
changed the lifestyles of human beings dramatically. People are enjoying the opportunities
offered by smart cities. IoT is one of the best emerging technology that can be used in
connecting all the devices around the globe.
According to Wortmann and Flüchter (2015), IoT offers easy communication and secure
transfer of the data. According to Gubbi et al. (2013), that there are different models presents
that is used in different sectors such as hospitality, transport, industries, and many more. The
model are beneficial and replace the old working condition of a different organization. IoT
has the capability of influencing their daily lives. It also manipulates the activities happening
in the physical world. However, the approach requires by the IoT need to be vast. IoT is one
of the major challenge (Rose, Eldridge and Chapin 2015).
Wearable devices are based on the IoT that helps in collection of data. The smart
devices come with microchips, sensors, and wireless communication abilities. The wearable
devices and the IoT challenge the existing social society. The water supply system is being
improved with the involvement of the IoT. The introduction of the IoT is making the system
more advanced and smart. For the supply of water, both the IoT and Big Data concept is used
(Weinberg et al., 2015). The enterprise systems comprise of different types of design and
decision making at different levels. The IoT helps in the decision-making process and change
the business and personal lives over the years. However, until recent times, there is a different
application that is built on the internet of things. The devices help in changing the entire city
into a smart city and change the standard of living.

According to the researchers’ privacy is one of the major concern when complex data
is transferred with the help of the devices. The IoT model is based and proposed to maintain
privacy in the communication process. With the help of the IoT, information can be gathered
at a much faster rate. IoT devices operate at different network standards. IoT offers various
kinds of communication with the help of internet connectivity. However, it is observed that
all the researchers proposed different models and theories that can be executed for the
application of the internet of things.
According to (Ray 2018), it is difficult to develop all the application built on the
internet of things. Certain factors play an effective role in the development of different
application based on IoT. The IoT comprises certain components like the sensors, internet
protocol, and all the advanced technologies. The proposed application will help the standard
of living of human beings. With the benefit of IoT, the users will be able to experience all the
physical and virtual objects around them into a world known as the cyber world (Fleisch et
al., 2015). Not all the parameters available are favorable for the development of the different
application. The development and the growth of the internet of things are still in the first
stage. It is expected that shortly, the internet of things and the application based on it will be
present everywhere (Chen et al., 2015).
The applications connected to the internet of things need modifications they are
already in existence. Instead of their existence, they require modification to meet the human
requirement and to form application that helps in the connectivity with human life (Borgia
2014). The application proposed will help in the future improvement and growth of the
internet of things. There are certain limitations as the application is complex to be
implemented. However, the benefits offered by the different application will overcome the
limitation of the internet of things. The attention of the research proposal is to find the
