IoT

The internet of things, or IoT, connects objects and systems capable of collecting information or acting on their environment. It combines devices, connectivity and processing services

What it means, how it is used and where it comes up, with its related concepts.

What it is and how it works

A project needs to define what data it collects, what it is used for and what happens when the connection fails. It should also plan for updates, access control and equipment retirement. Connectivity alone does not create value: the system should address a need and allow its operation to be managed throughout its useful life.
