No. 1 IoT Training Institute in Chennai

The Internet of Things is simply "a network of internet-connected objects able to collect and exchange data." It is commonly abbreviated as IoT.

The word "Internet of Things" has two main parts: Internet — being the backbone of connectivity — and Things — meaning objects and devices. In simple terms, you have "things" that sense and collect data and send it to the internet. This data can then be accessed and acted upon by other "things" too.

The IoT course at EGAI treats IoT as the platform for networking different devices on the internet and enabling their inter-related communication. Reading data through sensors, processing it with cloud applications, and then passing the processed data to generate different kinds of output is the core of the curriculum.

Imagine you have a smart air conditioning unit in your home connected to the internet — this is a "thing" connected to the internet. On a hot summer day, as you leave work and head home, you would like your home to be cool enough by the time you arrive.

Using your mobile (another "thing" connected to the internet), you can remotely switch on the air conditioning unit of your home while still in transit. Technically, with internet connectivity, you can control your AC system from any part of the world — as long as both the AC and your mobile are connected.

This is IoT in action: devices communicating intelligently over the internet to give you remote control, automation and real-time awareness — forming the foundation of smart homes, smart factories and connected infrastructure.
