The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of interconnected physical devices—such as vehicles, appliances, sensors, and machines—that are embedded with software, sensors, and connectivity to collect and exchange data. This technology enables smart devices to communicate with each other and central systems over the internet, creating seamless automation and real-time insights.
IoT connects everyday objects, from home thermostats and wearables to industrial machinery and city infrastructure, allowing them to send data, receive instructions, and operate intelligently. This interconnected ecosystem enhances efficiency, safety, and convenience across various domains by harnessing data from the physical world and transforming it into actionable intelligence.
