Abstract:

The domain of technology and communication is ever-expanding, and so a conversation about a key technology that is a part of this domain is in order. That key technology is the Internet of Things, or IoT. IoT technology is of various types, from the commonly known Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, to the somewhat known ones like NFC (Near Field Communication) and Zigbee, and then also to some of the lesser-known ones like Sigfox. These are used in various industries like agricultural, technical etc. for various purposes like industrial automation & agricultural monitoring. They have also become a part of our life in the form of smart homes and even our wearable devices. Thus, IoT is here to stay.
