4 Questions
What is the role of gateways in the IoT ecosystem?
Act as intermediaries between devices and the cloud
Define Edge Computing in the context of IoT.
Edge computing refers to the process of analyzing data near the source, i.e., at the edge of the network. This reduces latency and bandwidth usage by processing data locally before sending it to the cloud.
_______ and AI are used to derive meaningful insights from IoT data.
Analytics
Match the following components of the IBM IoT framework with their descriptions:
Devices and Sensors = Physical devices that collect data from the environment Cloud Platform = Where data from devices is sent for storage, analysis, and visualization Applications and Services = User-facing interfaces providing interaction with IoT data and devices Security = Includes measures such as data encryption, authentication, and access control
Study Notes
IBM IoT Framework Components
