Internet of Things (IoT) is the networking of physical objects that contain electronics embedded within their architecture in order to communicate and sense interactions amongst each other or with respect to the external environment. In the upcoming years, IoT-based technology will offer advanced levels of services and practically change the way people lead their daily lives. Advancements in medicine, power, gene therapies, agriculture, smart cities, and smart homes are just a very few of the definite examples where IoT is strongly established.

IoT is a network of interconnected computing devices which are embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data.

Over 9 billion ‘Things’ (physical objects) are currently connected to the Internet. In the near future, this number is expected to rise to a whopping 20 billion.

Main components used in IoT:

• Low-power embedded systems: Less battery consumption, and high performance are the inverse factors that play a significant role during the design of electronic systems.
• Sensors: Sensors are a significant part of any IoT application. It is a physical device that measures and detect a certain physical quantity and convert it into a signal which can be provided as an input to a processing or control unit for analysis purpose.
