Environmental monitoring, infrastructure management, healthcare systems, home automation systems, large scale deployments, how do all of these work? They are sophisticated technical tasks that require intelligent systems.However, is it possible to perform these complex tasks using a single computer? Even if multiple devices are used, it is not feasible for them to work independently towards a common goal. A network is thus required so all these devices can be connected to each other.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a networked structure that allows objects, computers, entities in the network to collect and exchange data without human interaction. This exchange is possible because the entities in the physical network are embedded with electronics, software, sensors that allow them to be sensed and controlled remotely.
This is a basic explanation of how IoT works, however, it is much more complex than that.
IoT has become the basis of all major operations today and is a subject that requires deep understanding. In the lead up to IndiaHacks, we conducted a podcast at HackerEarth office where Mr. Madhavan, CTO Altimetrik talked about IoT and its significance. Mr. Madhavan has worked as a technologist at various organizations like CSC, Lehman brothers etc. He has also played a major role in setting up an IoT lab at Altimetrik.
