The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT), which connects Internet devices that collect sensor data and send it to the cloud for analysis. IoT devices have processing power to control communications and generate telemetry data streams. An IoT hub in the cloud collects this data and can communicate back to devices. IoT allows a single operator to monitor and control many remote devices through a cloud portal. Once collected, the sensor data can be analyzed for insights to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and gain other benefits. Examples of IoT applications include monitoring office buildings, factories, vehicles and more.
