What is IOT? | Understanding The Internet of Things

The internet of things, to use intelligently connected devices and systems to leverage data gathered by embedded sensors and actuators in the machines and other physical objects. IOT is expected to spread rapidly over the coming years and this will improve the quality of our connected life.

Physical and virtual things in an IOT have their own identities and attributes and are capable of using intelligent interfaces and being integrated as an information network. In easy terms, IOT can be described in connected devices that are uniquely identifiable. 


The Internet of things has been identified as one of the emerging technologies in IT.

ARCHITECTURE OF IOT:-

A critical requirement of an IOT is that the things in the network must be connected to each other. IOT system architecture must guarantee the operations of IOT, which connects the physical and the virtual worlds.

APPLICATION LAYER:

  • Lowest abstract layer
  • with sensors, we are creating digital nervous systems
  • incorporated to measure physical quantities.

GATEWAY AND THE NETWORK LAYER:

  • Robust and high performances network infrastructures
  • allows multiple organizations
  • support and communications requirements

MANAGEMENT LAYER:

  • Capturing of periodic sensory data
  • Ensure security and privacy data

INTERNET OF THINGS ELEMENTS:

There are three IOT components that enable seamlessly:

  • Hardware: It is made up of sensors, actuators, and embedded communication hardware.
  • Middleware: On-demand storage and computing tools for data analytics.
  • Presentation: Novel easy to understand visualization and interpretation tools that can be widely accessed on different platforms.

CLOUD CENTRIC INTERNET OF THINGS:

The vision of IOT can be seen from two perspectives- ‘internet ‘centric and ‘thing’ centric. The internet-centric architecture will involve internet services being the main focus while data is contributed by the objects. In object-centric architecture, the smart object takes the center stage.

The new IOT applications specific framework should be able to provide support for:

1) Reading data streams either from sensors directly or fetching the data from the database.

2) Easy expression of data analytics logic as functions/operations that person data streams in a transparent and scalable manner and cloud infrastructures.

3) If any events of interest are detected, outcomes should be passed to output streams.

SERVICES/ BENEFITS OF IOT:

  • Improved citizen’s quality of life
  • Healthcare from anywhere
  • Better safety, security, and productivity
  • new business opportunities
  • IOT can be used in every vertical for improving the efficiency 
  • creates new business and new and better jobs
  • economic growth
  • Better environment 
  • saves natural resources and trees
  • helps in creating a smart, greener, and sustainable planet
  • Improved competitiveness
  • competitive in providing cutting edge products/services

QUANTUM STORAGE & MEMORY

  Quantum computers stand to transform the world of computers. They have the capacity to be greatly more powerful than our current digital devices, with the power to solve important computational problems and simulate complex physical systems with unmatched efficiency. Like memories are an important component for computers, that’s like quantum memories are also essential components for quantum computers, a new generation of data processors that follow the laws of quantum mechanics and these laws help to overcome the limitations of classical computers. Quantum computers are expected to be much faster and more powerful than their traditional analogue as information is calculated in qubits (the fundamental unit of computation in quantum computing)  in quantum computers while the older units are bits which used in classical computers, can represent both 0 and 1 at the same time. Quantum memory is used as a key element in information processing, such as optical  quantum computing  and  qu

BLOCKCHAIN: HOW IT WORKS AND WHY SO POPULAR

Merely, 12 years ago on 31 st October 2008, SATOSHI NAKAMOTO published a paper on the internet about the idea of bitcoin. The Paper’s first few lines almost depicted all. The lines – “A version of electronic cash that would allow payments to be sent directly from one party/person to another party without involving a financial institution.” The value of bitcoin in 2010 was ~ 0 INR and value in 2020 ~ 15 lakhs INR. Recently, it touched its high price point, and now again is the topic of discussion among the market and media. Why so much difference? Like the US dollar is controlled by the Central Bank of US and the Indian rupee is controlled by RBI. Normally, our financial systems are based on “TRUST”. Whereas Cryptocurrency is a digital asset over which central banks or financial institutions have no control or rules/regulation. The currency notes and coins have value just because they are guaranteed by the government and central bank. Every currency has a promissory note with the signa

QUANTUM COMPUTING: CAN FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE

-
….IN AN INFINITE UNIVERSE ANYTHING THAT COULD BE IMAGINED MIGHT SOMEWHERE EXIST.                                                                   - Dean Koontz Quantum computing is an emerging domain that is yet to enter our lives. However, the researchers are working hard to bring it into existence. Quantum computing can make the impossible possible. There are some problems that even supercomputers can’t solve. Quantum computers will however have the potential to solve such problems. In the same way that bits are used in a classical computer, quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits which can store information in the quantum form. A qubit can be 0 or 1, or a superposition of both 0 and 1. Experts expect quantum computing to help us understand biology and evolution, cure cancer, and even take steps to reverse climate change. Imagine you have four bits. Together, those four bits can have one of 16 possible combinations, such as 1011.  The unique powers of quantum computation may g
