A Comprehensive Review on Recent Advancements in the Field of Internet of Things, Its Challenges and Future Scope

  • Published:
Optoelectronics, Instrumentation and Data Processing Aims and scope

Abstract

In recent years, a lot of advanced technologies have come into light. Amongst them, Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most used technologies which has improved the lifestyle worldwide. IoT helps to interconnect the information network and the real world of concrete objects and places called ‘‘things’’ to achieve the demand of the future. In this concern, this paper presents the overview of IoT architecture, its key features, and advancements in the field of IoT. Further, paper discusses the challenges, issues and future scope of the technology. The paper also demonstrates an example of optical IoT based model in the field of humidity and dust monitoring using optical sensors with simulation results.
