How does the Internet of Things connect devices?

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects devices through a combination of technologies that enable communication and data exchange. Devices within IoT ecosystems are equipped with sensors and connectivity capabilities, allowing them to collect and transmit data to other devices or to a central system. This communication primarily occurs through internet protocols, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular networks, or specialized IoT networks like LoRaWAN or Zigbee. Furthermore, IoT devices may utilize cloud computing platforms to process and store data, leveraging cloud infrastructure and services for efficient connectivity. This interconnected network of devices enables seamless communication, enabling them to share information, receive commands, and collaborate to perform various tasks, thus creating a pervasive and intelligent network of interconnected devices.
