INTERNET OF THINGS AND APPLICATIONS
The broadband Internet is becoming more extensively accessible and the cost of connecting
to it is also declining. New devices are being developed with Wi-Fi and sensors potentiality.
Technology costs are also decreasing and the smartphone access is escalating. The entirety
of these things is generating a perfect scenario for the Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
This paper therefore, discusses Internet of Things (IoT) technology, its advantages and
applications to the society. It also made some recommendations for individuals,
organizations and industries to align themselves to the IoT technology in order to tap into its
benefits that will help ease their everyday routine activities.
The internet is gradually encompassing our everyday life. Virtually every of our daily
activities have a branch or tap on the internet. Several billions of people are now connected to
the internet and many more are connecting themselves to it. This has resulted into a world of
interconnectivity and smart environment.
All our things are now internet based and we now
have smart things.
The Internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical and tangible devices, vehicles, home
and office appliances and other objects integrated with electronics, software, sensors,
actuators, and connectivity that make these objects able to connect and exchange data
(Brown, 2016). Everything is distinctively recognizable using its embedded computing
system but is capable to inter-operate inside the existing Internet infrastructure. It is also a
system of interconnected computing devices, both mechanical and digital machines, items,
animals or individuals that are issued with identifiers that are unique to the bearer and have
the capability to transmit data over a network devoid of human-to-human or human-tocomputer interaction (Rouse, 2016).
Components of Internet of Things
Internet of Things (IoT) is the idea of primarily linking any device with an “ON” and “OFF”
control to the Internet (and/or to each other).
This includes everything like cell phones, wrist
watches, eye glasses coffee makers, washing machines, dish washers, headphones, lamps,
wearable devices and almost everything else one can think, which include also parts of
devices (Jacob, 2014). Extensively, the term IoT covers everything that are connected to the
internet, however, it is more and more being used to describe objects that communicate with
each other (Matt, 2018).
The Internet of Things, or IoT, deals with billions of
substantial/physical devices in the world that are currently connected to the internet and
collect and share data. Internet of Things (IoT) is primarily used for devices that would not
typically be normally likely to have an internet connection, which can communicate with the
network autonomously of human intervention and actions.
A PC and a smartphone, because
of the above reason are not normally regarded as IoT devices but a smart watch or a fitness
band may be regarded as an IoT device (Steve, 2018).
The “Thing” in the Internet of Things, can be a person that has a heart monitor implant, blood
pressure monitor implant, a domestic animal with a biochip transponder, a car that has builtin sensors to alert the driver when tire under inflated or over inflated, or any other object that
can be assigned an Internet Protocol (IP) address and enhanced the capability to transmit data
over a network.
The IoT has developed from the merging of wireless technologies, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), micro services and the internet. This merging has aided
to break down the tall walls between operational technology (OT) and information
technology (IT), thus, giving access to unstructured machine-generated data to be studied for
understanding that will trigger advancements (Rouse, 2016).
The Internet of Things (IoT) was originally offered at the last part of the last century and is
gaining grounds in recent times in several fields of technology.
Currently, IoT is enabling
many applications and services in academic and industrial disciplines spanning from
environment to healthcare and medical fields (Al-Turjman, 2016).
Smart Phones, smart toasters, connected rectal thermometers and fitness collars for dogs are
presently several of the everyday items being connected to the web as component of the
Internet of Things (IoT).
Connected devices and objects in industries present the prospect for
a “fourth industrial revolution”, and experts forecast that more than half of emerging
businesses will run on the IoT by 2020 (Matt, 2018).
