About Internet of Things

Hi everyone,

My project for this course will be the Internet of Things, how it develops itself in typical French and big companies, and maybe, in the end, what are the potential developments and funding of the IoT in the US compared to France.

Have you ever heard about the Internet Of Things?

These are objects that we or companies may use daily in our lives.

What is the IoT technically speaking?

These things are made up of 3 technologies:

• Components (hardware and software): The object itself is mostly composed of captors, electronical components and the OS (for example: Arduino and Raspberry Pi  are some of the least expensive pieces of hardware)
• Connectivity: The information captured by the object is transmitted on a specific network. IoT mostly use IoT-designated networks developed by SigFox and Lora. These networks allow objects to be very-low energy, but it could also be wifi, Bluetooth, or anything else
• Server and database : Datas are saved on a server, that will transmit the information either to a user, or to calculators or other IoT objects.

Have you figured out what were Internet of Things objects ? Do you want some examples ?
