- [Instructor] The Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineering,
or I triple E,
defines the Internet of Things
as a network that connects
uniquely identifiable things to the internet.
The internet refers to the large category
of applications and protocols within the network.
The things are basically any device
that is capable of connecting to the internet,
including smart devices, sensors,
daily personal devices, factory machines,
and any other entity that's able to communicate
with other connected objects.
Information about the things can be collected,
and their states can be changed
from anywhere, anytime by anything.
This also includes people
who operate the devices,
and use the applications.
So the relationship is,
people to people,
people to things and things to things.
IoT as a concept is simply connecting devices
or things to the internet and or to each other.
IoT en campuses the following fundamentals,
smart sensing and actuating,
computing and connectivity and communication.
