Overview of IOT


The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a transformative paradigm in the digital age, wherein interconnected devices, sensors, and systems communicate and collaborate to enhance efficiency, productivity, and convenience across various domains. At its core, IoT enables the seamless exchange of data and information between physical objects and the digital world, unlocking a myriad of possibilities for innovation and automation.

In IoT ecosystems, devices equipped with sensors and actuators gather real-time data from their environment, which is then transmitted, processed, and analyzed using cloud computing platforms and edge computing solutions. This data-driven approach enables organizations to derive actionable insights, optimize operations, and improve decision-making processes.
