What is IoT technology

What is IoT technology

When people speak about an IoT device they don’t think about sensors nor actuators nor all the other stuff involved, such as boards, processors/chips, transceivers, micro-electro-mechanical systems or anything like that.
They do think about smart devices such as the ones mentioned or about wearables, intelligent street lighting, activity trackers, smart room controls, smart thermostats, irrigation controllers or maybe about collaborative robots, smart manufacturing assets, health monitoring devices (including in the body), pets or private assets which are tagged with location detection technology and, yes, the good old connected fridge. The list is endless once you start adding agriculture and farming, ‘heavy’ industry, retail, ‘smart’ digital signage and so on.
It has been suggested to look at the things and the IoT devices in this broader context where all kinds of components (hardware, software, connection) and even associated services come together in one device.
