The document discusses the Internet of Things (IOT). It defines IOT as a network of physical objects embedded with sensors, software and connectivity that allows them to collect and exchange data. IOT allows objects to be controlled remotely via existing network infrastructure, integrating the physical world with computer systems for improved efficiency. Key technologies that enable IOT include RFID, near field communication, barcodes, and Bluetooth which can tag and identify objects. IOT results from several complementary technologies working together, including communication, addressing, identification, sensing, embedded processing, and localization capabilities.
