Definition of the IoT

“The IoT allows people and things to be connected Anytime, Anyplace, with Anything and Anyone, ideally using Any path/network and Any service.”

FIGURE 7.2 Representation of the first definition of the IoT.

The IoT infrastructure allows combinations of different types of smart items using different but interoperable communication protocols and realizes a dynamic heterogeneous network that can be deployed also in inaccessible or remote spaces (oil platforms, mines, forests, tunnels, pipes, etc.) or in cases of emergencies or hazardous situations (earthquakes, fire, floods, radiation areas, etc.). Giving these objects the possibility to communicate with each other and to elaborate on the information retrieved from the surroundings implies having different areas where a wide range of applications can be deployed. These can be grouped into the following domains: healthcare, personal and social, smart environment (such as at home or in the office), futuristic applications, and transportation and logistics, as represented in Figure 7.3.
