Compared to Wi-Fi Shield, Arduino GSM Shield is Practical as It Opens the Door Towards Real IoT. We Need to Control Things Over Internet. You can live without Wi-Fi. The basic theory is very important to know - what is Ethernet, what is Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi vs Ethernet, GSM, GPRS, TCP etc. Arduino GSM Shield : Why We Prefer it Over Wi-Fi Shield Wi-Fi is for creation of Wireless … [Read more...]
iBeacon and Nearables : Basics
iBeacon uses smartphone's precise location for navigation within the confined spaces, based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Nearables describes the idea of smart objects. None of these are real examples of Internet of Things (IoT) but these are very basic smart objects. iBeacon and Nearables are two different words with specific meaning, we included together because the first basically falls in the … [Read more...]
IEEE Standards Related to Internet of Things (IoT)
IEEE Standards Association has a number of standards Which Are Related to IoT. Here are IEEE Standards Related to Internet of Things (IoT). We have described the Protocols related to Internet of Things (IoT) before. So, it is quite normal, the standards of the Protocols also get included in the list. IEEE Standards Related to Internet of Things (IoT) There is an existent official list of … [Read more...]
Cloud Computing and IoT : Predictions That Came True in 2014
Here is a Selection of the Predictions Which Came True in 2014 from the virtual containers to hybrid cloud up to the new role of IoT and SDDC. New year is not only the time to think about the next 12 months and speculate what will we see. The opportunity to look back to the forecasts on cloud computing since the end of 2013 to the end of 2014, which now running out, is not what quite bad. Here is … [Read more...]
Ambient Intelligence : Basics
Ambient Intelligence is pushing the technology towards the limit it had at the end of the twentieth century. It has direct relationship with Internet of Things (IoT). This concept seems to take the place of non-literal translation of concepts born in North America under the initial term like ubiquitous computing and pervasive systems. In this approach, the concept of information system leaned … [Read more...]
Glucometer, Smart Objects and Internet of Things
Glucometer can be an easiest example of potential Smart Object and also it can explain why not all can be part of Internet of Things. Hostgator Shared Server also uses OpenStack cloud software as backend, but Hostgator Shared Server is not a PaaS. The basic difference lies in layers, service delivery for the later. Everything has definitions and standards. Hardware obviously need to follow some … [Read more...]
What is Machine to Machine (M2M) Communication in IoT?
The concept of machine to machine communication is to enable communications between machines without human intervention. Machine to Machine (M2M) Communication is a part of Internet of Things (IoT). Previously, we have talked about the Protocols related to Internet of Things (IoT). With so-called smart, communicating 'Things' this way provide them the means to interact without human intervention … [Read more...]
JSON-LD in Details
JSON-LD (JSON for Linked data) refer to the recommendations of the W3C, embedded linked data in the lightweight JSON Format. We already talked about JSON or JavaScript Object Notation. JSONP is JSON with padding. With JSON, we can easily fetch data and display in format we want, for example here is working feed of my Twitter. Possibly it is known to the reader that we can develop RESTful API for … [Read more...]
