Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Internet of Things?

The Internet of Things is the network of physical devices, sensors and machines that connect to the internet to collect and exchange data, enabling monitoring, automation and new services.

What are the layers of an IoT system?

Devices and sensors, connectivity such as cellular, LoRaWAN and 5G, messaging brokers, a platform for device management and data, analytics and applications, with security across all layers.

What is MQTT?

A lightweight publish-subscribe messaging protocol widely used to send telemetry from IoT devices to brokers and applications; see the MQTT Brokers page.

How does edge computing relate to IoT?

Edge computing processes IoT data near the device to cut latency and bandwidth, and Edge AI runs machine learning models there.

What are the main IoT standards and security baselines?

oneM2M defines interoperability, ETSI EN 303 645 and NIST IR 8259 set security baselines for devices, and the OWASP IoT Security Verification Standard gives testable requirements. Matter and Zigbee come from the Connectivity Standards Alliance.
