A STUDY ON IOT FUNCTIONS, TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an interconnected network of things, connecting all physical world objects to the computers through the internet. Every object that is connected in the loT is assigned an IP address to communicate without human interven- tion. Data are collected from their surrounding en- vironments using embedded sensors and send the data through network and stored for analysis or de- cision making. This paper focuses on the functions of loT, technologies used and some of the applica- tions of IOT. This will help to understand the grow- ing trends in IOT and its scope in future.
