What is Internet or Web of Things

Both terms are used for each other alternatives.


IoT is characterized by the introduction of machine to machine applications with no or minimal human involvement. The IoT core concept provides ability to objects or things to exchanging data automatically through different networks such as Internet, Wireless Sensor Networks, Local Area Networks, and etc. These networks in IoT environment use sensing technologies, Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, sensors, actuators, mobile phones, etc for communication and work together for achieving their objectives.
International TelecommunicationsUnion (ITU) in Tunisia in 2005 approved the concept of “IoT” in the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).From architecture point of view IoT could have three different layers & namely sensing layer, network layer and application layer and four elements such asdata collection, two modetransmission, management and feedback control. Connection of various heterogeneous equipmentswith each other will lead a path to the future of Internet. However,IoThas challenges of integration for heterogeneous networks and management. It would be great success for IoT devices, if they are being install and deploy by everyone without the need of technical configuration.
