There are the following components used in IoT: Devices and sensors Cloud Computing User interface Networking connection Gateway Devices and sensors Devices and sensors are the components of the connectivity layer. These smart sensors continuously collect data from the environment and transmit it to the next layer. For example, ourContinue Reading

1) MQTT MQTT stands for Message Queue Telemetry Transport. It was introduced by IBM in 1999 and standardized by OASIS in 2013. It is used for remote monitoring in IoT. Its main challenge is to collect statistics of many devices and the delivery of its infrastructure. MQTT connects devices and networks withContinue Reading

Network layer Encapsulation Protocols Network Layer Routing Protocols 1. Network layer Encapsulation Protocols a) 6LoWPAN 6LoWPAN stands for IPv6 Over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network. It is mostly used standard in this category. It effectively encapsulates long IPv6 headers in small IEEE802.15.4 packets that cannot exceed 128 bytes. The specification supports addresses of differentContinue Reading

 Data Link Layer Protocols Bluetooth Low Energy Z-Wave ZigBee Smart Energy LoRaWAN WirelessHART LTE-A  1. Bluetooth Low Energy Bluetooth Low Energy or Bluetooth is a short-range communication protocol with the physical layer and medium access control layer. It is widely used in IoT enabled vehicles. Its low power consumption canContinue Reading

It is essential to know about the embedded devices while learning the IoT or building the projects on IoT. The embedded devices are the objects that build the unique computing system. These systems may or may not connect to the Internet. An embedded device system generally runs as a singleContinue Reading

Introduction to IoT Software IoT is about [Internet + (Sense and Communication)]. Things of things are connected through the internet. Let’s take the example of Mi fitness band- To use this band user should install the Mi-fit app to connect to a phone. Band calculates total hours of sleep, aContinue Reading
