3 What is IOT?
 The Internet of things(IOT) is the inter-networking of things embedded with
software, sensors, and networking connectivity which enable these things
to collect and exchange data.
 The IOT allows to be sensed or controlled remotely
resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and
economic benefit in addition to reduced
human intervention.
 The concept of the Internet of Things first became
popular in 1999, through the Auto-ID Centre
at MIT and related market-analysis publications.

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
⮚ User interfaces

IoT Architecture
The four Stage IoT architecture consists of:
1. Sensors and actuators
2. Internet getaways and Data Acquisition System
3. Edge IT
4. Data center and cloud.
6 Current Status & Future Prospect of IoT

 IoT is very prospecting industry now-a-days.

 This technology is impacting individual lives as well as in businesses .
 The estimated number of IoT connected devices by 2020 is 20.8 billion.

“Change is the only thing permanent in this world”

7 IoT as a Network of Networks

 These networks connected with added security, analytics, and management capabilities.
This will allow IoT to become even more powerful in what it can help people achieve.
8 Communication Technologies used in IOT

 Cellular
 Bluetooth
 Zigbee
 Wi-Fi
 NFC(Near-Field-Communication)
9 Applications of IoT

Create new efficiencies in manufacturing through machine monitoring and

product-quality monitoring. 
Improve the tracking and “ring-fencing” of physical assets
Use wearables to monitor human health analytics and environmental conditions.
Enable business process changes.

You name it, and you will have it in IoT!

10 Advantages And Disadvantages Of IOT

 Advantages:
• Cost Savings
• Information
• Automation and Control
 Disadvantages:
• Technology over Dependency
• Losing Security on Privacy
• Lesser Employment Prospects
11 Criticisms and Controversies of IoT

Scholars and social observers and pessimists have doubts about the promises of the
ubiquitous computing revolution, in the areas as:

• Privacy
• Security
• Autonomy and control of data
•  Interpretation of data
12 Sum up…

 IoT is a relatively new concept.

 Usefulness of IoT is for everyone to see and Corporates are using IoT for data
analytics and increasing their reach and profit margins.
 IoT as a concept is here to stay, despite its criticisms and technological
challenges.
