Internet of things.

The Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses systems of physical devices that exchange data over wireless networks with minimal human intervention, enabled by embedding computing devices in everyday objects.

Internet of things.

We have seen what the Internet of Things is and how it works, and what seemed a distant future a few years ago is now possible today. New technologies, applied to all kinds of objects and devices of daily use, will allow companies and people to carry out their jobs, tasks and activities in a more comfortable way, freeing up time and reducing efforts.

Where it can be applied

• Logistics and Transportation.
• Livestock and agriculture.
• Wearables (bracelets, glasses, belts, etc.).
• Health sector.
• Smart Cities (smart cities).
• Smart homes.

Characteristics

Safety
The equipment or devices are connected to the network transmitting and receiving data, so they must have security means that protect and guarantee their integrity and privac
Interaction
IoT uses an interface and communication systems that allow establishing the necessary relationship between people, devices and the physical world.
Sensitivity
Through the sensors the devices can detect movement, temperatures and other parameters.
Connectivity
Devices must be connected to the network in order to interact with users and other devices or systems. For them they mainly use Wi-Fi connections (although it is also possible that they use other types of access such as Ethernet or Bluetooth).

In 2015 alone, around 10 billion devices were connected to the Internet, while by 2020 it is expected that there will be 34 billion devices, of which 24 billion will represent the IoT and only 10 billion will be traditional computing devices. (for example, smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, etc.

The term IoT refers to all systems of physical devices that receive and transfer data over wireless networks with little human intervention, which is possible thanks to the integration of computing devices in all kinds of objects.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the process that makes it possible to connect everyday physical elements to the Internet: from common household objects, such as light bulbs, to resources for health care, such as medical devices; they also include clothing and personal items, such as smart watches, and even traffic lights in smart cities
