WHAT IS IOT?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or
"things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network
connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange
data.
IoT allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across

existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more
direct integration between the physical world and computer-based
systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and
economic benefit. 3
"Things," in the IoT sense, can refer to a wide variety of
devices such as heart monitoring implants, biochip
transponders on farm animals, electric clams in coastal waters,
automobiles with built-in sensors, DNA analysis devices for
environmental/food/pathogen monitoring or field operation
devices that assist fire-fighters in search and rescue operations.
These devices collect useful data with the help of various

existing technologies and then autonomously flow the data
between other devices.

HISTORY OF IOT
The concept of the Internet of Things first became popular in
1999, through the Auto-ID Center at MIT and related market-
analysis publications. R
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) was seen as a prerequisite

for the IoT at that point. If all objects and people in daily life were
equipped with identifiers, computers could manage and inventory
them. Besides using RFID, the tagging of things may be achieved
through such technologies as near field communication, barcodes,
QR codes, bluetooth, and digital watermarking. 5
HOW IOT WORKS?
Internet of Things is not the result of a single novel technology;
instead, several complementary technical developments provide
capabilities that taken together help to bridge the gap between the
virtual and physical world. These capabilities include:
Communication and cooperation
Addressability
Identification
Sensing
Actuation
Embedded information processing
Localization 6
User interfaces

THE STRUCTURE OF IOT
The IoT can be viewed as a gigantic network consisting of
networks of devices and computers connected through a series of
intermediate technologies where numerous technologies like RFIDs,
wireless connections may act as enablers of this connectivity.
Tagging Things : Real-time item traceability and addressability by RFIDs.

Feeling Things : Sensors act as primary devices to collect data from the
environment.
Shrinking Things : Miniaturization and Nanotechnology has provoked the
ability of smaller things to interact and connect within the “things” or “smart
devices.”
Thinking Things : Embedded intelligence in devices through sensors has
formed the network connection to the Internet. It can make the “things”

SENSORS IN EVEN THE HOLY COW!
In the world of IoT, even the cows will be connected and monitored.
Sensors are implanted in the ears of cattle. This allows farmers to
monitor cows’ health and track their movements, ensuring a healthier,
more plentiful supply of milk and meat for people to consume.21 On
average, each cow generates about 200 MB of information per year.
Of course, we know nothing remains static, especially when it comes to
the Internet. Initiatives and advances, such as Cisco‘s Planetary Skin,
GE’s Industrial Internet, HP‘s central nervous system for the earth
(CeNSE), and smart dust, have the potential to add millions—even
billions—of sensors to the Internet.
As cows, water pipes, people, and even shoes, trees, and animals become
connected to IoT, the world has the potential to become a better place.
“With a trillion sensors embedded in the environment—all connected by
computing systems, software, and services—it will be possible to hear
the heartbeat of the Earth, impacting human interaction with the globe as
profoundly as the Internet has revolutionized communication.” - Peter
Hartwell, Senior Researcher, HP Labs.

“How much more IoT can do is only left to your imagination”

Internet of Things is the next stage of the information
revolution and referenced the inter-connectivity of everything
from urban transport to medical devices to household
appliances.
Integration with the Internet implies that devices will use an
IP address as a unique identifier. However, due to the limited
address space of IPv4 (which allows for 4.3 billion unique
addresses), objects in the IoT will have to use IPv6 to
accommodate the extremely large address space required.
Objects in the IoT will not only be devices with sensory
capabilities, but also provide actuation capabilities (e.g., bulbs
or locks controlled over the Internet). 23
On the other hand, IoT systems could also be responsible for
performing actions, not just sensing things. Intelligent shopping
systems, for example, could monitor specific users' purchasing
habits in a store by tracking their specific mobile phones. These
users could then be provided with special offers on their
favourite products, or even location of items that they need,
which their fridge has automatically conveyed to the phone.
Additional examples of sensing and actuating are reflected in

applications that deal with heat, electricity and energy
management, as well as cruise-assisting transportation systems.
Other applications that the Internet of Things can provide 24
is
enabling extended home security features and home automation.
