Internet of Things (IoT) is a term to describe a network of internet-connected devices or objects that collect and exchange data. The ‘things’ could be anything—such as equipment on a manufacturing production line, a fleet of trucks, light bulbs in a home, or a smartwatch. Objects are typically connected to the internet via embedded sensors that capture and transmit rich real-time data about the location, movement, operation or performance of the object, without human intervention.

IoT networks often work together with software solutions that enable aggregation, analysis and access to data. While IoT devices collect and exchange information across a network, software or platforms make it easier to combine and access the data generated. IoT software, apps and platforms are ways to harness the data via analytical tools, operational dashboards, or user-friendly interfaces for customers. For instance, a mobile app that lets people turn IoT-enabled light bulbs on and off remotely.
