The Internet of Things (IOT): A Review of Concepts, Technologies, and Applications

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system in which everyday objects such as gadgets, cars, and appliances are equipped with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity that allow them to connect to one another and share information and perform tasks. In this study, we examine the fundamentals of the IoT, including its sensors, actuators, and communication protocols. There are still a number of issues and challenges that must be fixed before IoT can live up to its full potential. Many angles on the Internet of Things, such as applications, challenges, enabling technologies, social and environmental repercussions, etc., need to be considered while tackling these issues. The primary purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive explanation from a technical and societal perspective. The numerous challenges, important issues, architecture, and significant application domains associated with the IoT are all discussed in this article. Many IoT applications are covered, from healthcare to agriculture to transportation, and beyond.
