Internet of Things

                                                                    ABSTRACT

The internet of things which is the current wave in the development of the internet has been around for some time. It is specifically about connecting objects (things) that would not ordinarily be considered worthy for internet connectivity. Things such as houses, cars, caps, ACs, and just think of it can be connected to the internet by embedding in them sensors/detectors that collect data/information from their immediate environment and transmitting such to the cloud via a certain technology; by this, the objects have internet identity and a presence on the internet as smart objects. This paper takes a deep look at the overall concept of IoT. It portrays the previous works done on the topic and the possibility of its implementation. It goes further to delineate the various components and requirements necessary to for its implementation.
