Exploring the Internet of Things
STAR.VISION▎Exploring the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses a vast ecosystem of intelligent devices that are interconnected, capable of exchanging and processing data with one another. This technology paves the way for innovative data collection methods from various environments and streamlines the management of numerous devices spread across different geographical areas. However, it also presents significant challenges related to the management of vast data volumes, including their collection, storage, and analysis.
▎IoT in Conjunction with Edge Computing
Edge computing refers to the practice of performing computations in close proximity to where the data is generated, either near the user or at the source of the data. Implementing an edge computing framework can significantly minimize latency and reduce the consumption of bandwidth. Moreover, it enables organizations to efficiently allocate a shared set of resources across multiple dispersed locations.
By offering localized processing power and storage for data and computational demands of IoT devices, edge computing can substantially decrease latency compared to traditional cloud or data center connections. This approach not only quickens response times but also enhances the overall efficiency and reliability of IoT systems.
