What is IoT?

IoT devices are everywhere, but they aren’t just used for Smart City related technologies. But what exactly are IoT devices? How do they work?

From Google Home, Fitbit, Apple iPhone, and Laptops, you are already using IoT devices everyday. In fact, Ericsson predicts that there will be 30 billion IoT devices in use around the world by 2023! 

IoT devices are spanning industries like Transportation, Retail, Healthcare, Agriculture, Smart Homes, Smart Cities, and Wearables… But what exactly are IoT devices? How do they work?

Aside from IoT devices that you already know, like your laptop, smart home devices, or your smartphone, there are some amazing IoT devices out there with very compelling, useful applications.

These sensors collect and send information, which help people to make more intelligent decisions, make improvements to that technology, or monitor conditions.
