Study Notes

Home Gateway and IoT Devices

The Home Gateway device acts as a local connection to IoT smart devices, providing Internet access, wireless connectivity, and local logic for smart devices.
The Home Gateway provides an IoT registration service that is always turned on and an auto-discovery service for devices in the local Ethernet and wireless network.
Users can control and monitor connected smart devices from their smartphone, tablet, or PC.

Future of Networks

Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables devices to "think" on their own.
Intent-Based Networking (IBN) allows software to configure network infrastructure and security features based on defined rules or intent.
Example: A business defines access rules for a contract employee, and IBN automatically configures network devices to fulfill this requirement.

Digital Transformation and Networks

Digital Transformation is the application of digital technology to innovate business and industry.
Networks form the foundation of the digitized world.
Networks include: PAN, LAN, WAN, Internet, Wireless, Fog computing, and The Cloud.
The Internet of Things (IoT) connects millions of smart devices and sensors to the Internet.

Sensors, Controllers, and Actuators

Sensors are everywhere, collecting data used by governments, cities, businesses, and individuals to effect changes.
Sensors connect to controllers using wireless connections, which collect data and send it for storage or analysis.
Controllers work with actuators, which take electrical input and transform it into physical action.

Network Types

Local Area Network (LAN): Networks in a small geographic area, such as a home or small business.
Wide Area Networks (WANs): A collection of LANs that provides inter-LAN and Internet connectivity.
Internet: A multi-layer global network system that connects hundreds of millions of computers.
Wireless Networks: Use electromagnetic waves to carry signals over the network.
The Cloud: Data centers or groups of connected servers used to store and analyze data, provide access to online applications, and provide backup services.
Personal Area Network (PAN): Connecting devices, such as smartphones, using Bluetooth.
The Edge: The physical "edge" of a corporate network.
Fog Computing: Data from IoT devices is pre-processed at the edge of the network.
