The Role of Big Data in IoT

Article posted on : link to source

IoT (the Internet of Things) refers to the automated intelligent control and command of connected devices over vast regions via sensors and other computing capabilities. At its core, IoT is a fairly simple concept to grasp. It’s all about making out products smarter. IoT is on its path to becoming one the biggest technological revolutions the world has ever seen. By 2020, the amount of revenue generated by IoT technology is expected to be in the figures north of $300 billion, and this is just a tip of the iceberg. One of the most critical components of the IoT process is data. For connected devices to perform commands, data has to be sent to a centralized location — say gateway or the cloud — where it’s processed and sent back to the sensors of these devices.

It is, therefore, imperative to have an efficient way of collecting small amounts of data and transmitting this data to the centralized location for processing, and sending it back to the sensors — all in real-time. Taking into account the type, the enormous explosion in numbers and capabilities of these devices and sensors, the size of the data that needs processing can be extremely large …
