Internet of Things
Connected objects, also known as smart objects or the Internet of Things (IoT), are objects equipped with communication means, either wired or wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, etc.), that can capture, store, process, and transmit data. They are capable of receiving and giving instructions but are not autonomous and require an electronic device for data visualization and storage. These objects can be used in various fields such as healthcare, home automation, security, and industry.
Connected objects, grouped under the term Internet of Things (IoT), refer to physical devices that integrate sensors, processors, and communication capabilities to interact with other devices or systems via the Internet. These objects collect real-time data, enable analysis or automated actions, and offer advanced functionalities tailored to different needs. They cover a wide range of applications, such as smart homes (lights, thermostats, security cameras), healthcare (smartwatches, medical devices), industry (connected machines, predictive maintenance), and smart cities (traffic management, public lighting).
