Whenever a smart thermostat pre-warms your house for your return, or your fitness tracker updates an app with your heart rate, there’s an underlying architecture of technology working to accomplish the task. This isn’t magic or a coincidence. It is made possible by the specialized and intertwined IoT enabling technologies that allow physical objects to sense, communicate, compute, and act with regard to certain data, without human intervention. Learning what these technologies are and how they work together provides insight into why the Internet of Things is transforming every business sector from health care to manufacturing.
IoT enabling technologies are defined as all the hardware, software, communication protocols, and platforms that are utilized to create connected devices. Without these elements as the foundation, an IoT-enabled device would be nothing but plastic and metal. Every IoT-enabling technology is essential for a device, from micro sensors embedded in soil to monitor the humidity levels to cloud platforms that are designed to interpret millions of data points per second. This blog covers the core IoT enabling technologies and explores what they do and why they are significant to us.
