There are four main components used in IoT:
Low-power embedded systems –
Less battery consumption and high performance are the inverse factors that play a significant role during the design of electronic systems.
Cloud computing –
Data collected through IoT devices is massive and this data has to be stored on a reliable storage server. This is where cloud computing comes into play. The data is processed and learned, giving more room for us to discover where things like electrical faults/errors are within the system.
Availability of big data –
We know that IoT relies heavily on sensors, especially real-time. As these electronic devices spread throughout every field, their usage is going to trigger a massive flux of big data.
Networking connection –
In order to communicate, internet connectivity is a must where each physical object is represented by an IP address. However, there are only a limited number of addresses available according to the IP naming. Due to the growing number of devices, this naming system will not be feasible anymore. Therefore, researchers are looking for another alternative naming system to represent each physical object.
IoT will become broader and more complex in terms of scope. It will change the world in terms of “anytime, any place, anything in connectivity.”
