WHAT IS IoT?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of devices that have an embedded hardware and software
to communicate (connect and exchange data) with other devices on the same network.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF IoT

• The first Iot device, developed in 1990, was a toaster that could be turned on and off over
the Internet.

• The term “Internet of Things” was coined in 1999 by Kevin Ashton.

• HOW DOES IoT WORK?

• The Internet of Things is an aggregation of internet enabled sensors, smart devices and
software that can be manipulated by scripts, applications and user interfaces across long
distances.

• For example, if a microwave oven, an air conditioner, door lock, CCTV camera or other such
devices are enabled to connect to the Internet, we can access and remotely control them
on-the-go using our smartphone.

strategies to combat illness.

Connected cars

A connected car is a VECHILE which is able to enhance its own operation maintenance as well as
comfort of passengers using onboard sensors and Internet connectivity
