IOT or Internet of Things refers to a network of interconnected embedded devices that will capture and transmit data that does not require any human interaction over a wireless network. The applications of IOT in everyday life include smart wearables, traffic monitoring, smart health monitoring, smart devices, smart grid, water supply, hospital robots, etc. Check below the list of benefits if IOT:
- It assists in controlling the homes and cities smartly with the use of mobile phones. This enhances security and also provides personal protection and this in turn saves a lot of time.
- Even if we are far away we can easily access the information from the actual location and is updated frequently in real time.
- Electronic devices are connected directly and communicate using a controller computer such as cell phones which in turn results in efficient use of electricity.
