The focus on IoT is in the configuration, control and networking via the Internet
of devices or “Things” that are traditionally not associated with the internet
Eg: pump, utility meter, car engine
IoT is a new revolution in the capabilities of the endpoints that are connected to
the internet
The Scope of IoT is not limited to just connecting things (device, appliances,
machines) to the Internet

Various platform of IOT
An IoT platform enables IoT device and endpoint management, connectivity and
network management, data management, processing and analysis, application
development, security, access control, monitoring, event processing and
interfacing/integration. IoT platforms enable to realize IoT projects and build IoT
solutions faster, cheaper and better.
A complete IoT system needs hardware, such as sensors or devices. These sensors
and devices collect data from the environment (e.g. a moisture sensor) or perform
actions in the environment (e.g. watering crops).
A complete IoT system needs connectivity. The hardware needs a way to transmit
all that data to the cloud (e.g. sending moisture data) or needs a way to receive
commands from the cloud (e.g. water the crops now). This can be accomplished
with mature forms of connectivity like cellular, satellite, or WiFi, or may necessitate
more recent, IoT-focused connectivity options like LoRa.
A complete IoT system needs software. This software is hosted in the cloud (and
is responsible for analyzing the data it’s collecting from the sensors and making
decisions (e.g knowing from moisture data that it just rained and then telling the
irrigation system not to turn on today).
Finally, a complete IoT system needs a user interface. To make all of this useful,
there needs to be a way for users to interact with the IoT system (e.g a web-based
app with a dashboard that shows moisture trends and allows users to manually
turn irrigation systems on or off).
In addition, the true value of IoT is unlocked when integrated with existing
business systems and data streams. It’s therefore critical that all of these disparate
components get tied together effectively and in a manageable way.
At a high level, IoT platforms provide a head start in building IoT systems by
providing built-in tools and capabilities to make IoT easier and cheaper for
businesses, developers, and users. An IoT platform helps facilitate the
communication, data flow, device management, and the functionality of
applications.

Some of the most pressing challenges and concerns emerge from the five Key IoT
issue areas, these include:
• Connectivity Challenge-As we move towards a more connected world, the biggest
challenge that remains is that of connectivity. Along with the value it adds,
connectivity also brings in complexity. There are design concerns when connecting
complex IoT devices in a network or with a system. Different types of devices support
varied interfaces and protocols. The design should not turn complex or expensive, in
an attempt to overcome these challenges.
• Performance and Scaling-Your IoT ecosystem should be capable of expanding as
your business grows. This needs to be done, without disturbing the existing system
and preventing system downtime. Instead of reinventing the entire system, the initial
designs should be such that it leaves room for seamless scalability. Performance is
another aspect that gets affected by the growth of business. Your IoT system, should
be powerful enough to weigh weigh the load of excessive data and if it’s not, there
should be provision to configure and improve the performance capability of the
system as you go along.
• Security Issues- As users of the Internet, we need to have a high degree of trust that
the Internet, its applications, and the devices linked to it are secure enough, to do the
kinds of activities we want to do online in relation to the risk tolerance associated
with those activities. The Internet of Things is no different in this respect, and
security in IoT is fundamentally linked to the ability of users to trust their
environment.
• Privacy Issues -As the connection between things increase the organizations are
exposed to significant risks of malicious attacks, data theft, thing bots and data
breach.
The exposed records can leak critical information, incurring huge losses to the
businesses.
• Interoperability/Standards- Interoperability facilitates the ability to choose devices
with the best features at the best price and integrate them to make them work
together. Purchasers may be hesitant to buy IoT products and services if there is
integration inflexibility, high ownership complexity, and concern over vendor lock-in,
or fear of obsolescence due to changing standards
