The Internet of Things (IoT) describes a network of electronic devices outfitted with sensors to gather and share data through the internet. It enables devices (things) to share data in real time without direct human intervention.
The concept has been around since the 1990s, but it didn’t gain significant traction until broadband technology, low-power sensors, and smartphones came into existence. Thanks to 5G cellular networks, IoT has become a mainstream reality.
