IOT2

An IoT ecosystem consists of smart devices that use sensors and communication hardware to collect and share environmental data. The devices send sensor data to an IoT gateway or edge device, where the data is either sent to the cloud for analysis or analyzed locally. These devices sometimes communicate with each other, acting on information received without human intervention, though people can also interact with the devices to set them up or access collected data.

How IoT works

An IoT ecosystem consists of web-enabled smart devices that use embedded systems, such as
processors, sensors and communication hardware, to collect, send and act on data they acquire
from their environments. IoT devices share the sensor data they collect by connecting to an IoT
gateway or other edge device where data is either sent to the cloud to be analyzed or analyzed
locally. Sometimes, these devices communicate with other related devices and act on the
information they get from one another. The devices do most of the work without human
intervention, although people can interact with the devices -- for instance, to set them up, give
them instructions or access the data.

The connectivity, networking and communication protocols used with these web-enabled devices
largely depend on the specific IoT applications deployed.
