Important IoT TECHNOLOGIES

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

An RFID chip holds information about the “thing”
An RFID chip is attached and transfers data to the reader.
The antenna on the RFID module is used to receive energy that is used to operate the RFID device and transmit information back to the reader.
RFID enables efficient management, tracking, and monitoring processes and logistics and supply chain applications.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)

Efficient, low-cost, low-power devices for use in remote sensing applications.
Low-power integrated circuits and wireless communications.
A large number of intelligent sensors collect raw data and create valuable services by processing, analyzing, and spreading data.
Challenges are related to limited processing capability and storage, and sensor data sharing for multiple device/system cooperation.

IoT Cloud Computing Support

For Advanced IoT services, IoT networks may need to collect, analyze and process segments of raw data and turn it in into operational control information.
Advanced IoT services will need the support of cloud computing.
Numerous IoT connections will be made to various devices and sensors.
Many IoT devices will not have a PC or smartphone level of sufficient data processing capability or interoperability functionality.

Cloud Computing

IoT applications will need support from a reliable, fast, and agile computing platform.
IoT devices can overcome a lack of software, firmware, memory storage, hardware and data processing capability using cloud computing.
The following are cloud service models:
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
