Networking - Concept
IoT
(Internet of Things)
Everyday objects and equipment connected to the internet so they can send data or be controlled remotely
What's it for?
Lets physical objects send information or be controlled remotely through a network.
For example…
A smart meter sends hourly electricity readings to the supplier so billing and outage alerts do not rely on manual reads
A warehouse uses IoT temperature sensors that send readings automatically so staff are alerted before refrigerated stock becomes unsafe
