Today we will take an overview of IoT. Internet of Things (IoT) is network of interconnected devices, machines, animal or human beings etc. which has unique identifier tag (which gives them unique identity) and these devices can communicate with each other, share and receive data without or very low human intervention. Even the “T” in IoT which stands for things are actually interconnected devices in the IoT network. These physical devices can be sensed or controlled remotely in the limit of network reach.
Size of the network totally depends upon the number of interconnected devices. We would be bound by about 30 billion (3000 crores) IoT devices till the year 2020. This is huge, because it is approx. 4 times the number of humans present on this planet. With this fact, we can imagine how fast IoT is making its place in daily life of us.
Applications: Among the numerous applications, few are below
- Smart home and factories
- Wearables

IoT is the future technology. Everything has it’s own merits and demerits. Let’s check out the most important concerns connected with the IoT technology. The main two concerns are Security and Privacy of the users which can be exploited and misused if we will take it easy. So due to the above IoT security became an important factor whenever we talk about IoT.
After this post, we will start the detail description of these above IoT products.
