There are 6 levels of IOT described in the document. Level 1 involves a single node that performs sensing, data storage, analysis and application hosting. Level 2 adds cloud data storage and applications. Level 3 involves big data and computationally intensive analysis. Level 4 uses multiple nodes for local analysis. Level 5 includes a coordinator node that collects data from end nodes and sends it to the cloud. Level 6 has multiple sensing and actuating nodes that send data to the cloud for analytics, storage in a database, and visualization through cloud applications, with a centralized controller monitoring the end nodes.
