Internet of Things (IoT), are physical devices that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies that is used for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the Internet.
Examples include smart home systems, wearable tech and high-speed broadband.
IoT supports smart cities to operate as well as smart grids, connected cars, smart health technologies, cloud services, and industry supply chains and much more. Worldwide IoT spending is now forecast to pass the $1 trillion mark in 2022.
Smart grid technology will help tackle the growing demand for renewable power sources to be integrated into the existing grid, and enable the national and international vision of low carbon energy.
