An IoT (Internet of Things) platform is a suite of software components that enable deployment, management, and maintenance of connected devices and their data. It provides tools and services necessary for connecting, managing, and securing IoT devices, as well as processing the data generated by these devices.
IoT platform refers to a set of software functionalities that facilitate the deployment of applications which connect and manage IoT devices. These platforms typically include capabilities for device connectivity, data management, analytics, and application enablement.
There are generally four types of IoT platforms: Connectivity platforms, which manage communication between devices and the cloud; Device management platforms, which handle provisioning, configuration, and software updates for IoT devices; Data management platforms, which process and analyze data from IoT devices; and Application enablement platforms, which provide tools for developing IoT applications and integrating them with other systems.
IoT, or Internet of Things, refers to the network of interconnected physical devices embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies to collect and exchange data over the internet. Its applications span various industries such as healthcare, transportation, agriculture, and smart homes. Applications include remote health monitoring, predictive maintenance of machinery, smart energy management, and automated home systems.
