What Technologies are Used in IoT Technology
Behind Internet of Things

• IoT or Internet of Things is an enhanced protocol
  that interconnects the natural movements of
  certain bodies with the internet. It not only
  helps collect the natural movement but also
  integrates technology that helps copy that
  movement. 
• For eg- We could add a chip in the tennis racket
  of world class players to help the trainees clone
  the movements. 
• The major enabling technologies, platforms or
  protocols of IoT are- 
• RFID 
• Radio Frequency Identification provides
  versatile reach, multiple identification access
  tokens, connection bootstrapping mode of
  incomes and payments. This Identifier employs two
  way radio transmitter this helps the receivers to
  identify and track tags associated with the
  object 
• NFC 
• Near Field communication is used for
  understanding communication protocols within the
  devices, typically a mobile device or a standard
  device.

• Low Energy Bluetooth
• This technology could be used for IoT functions
  in the longer run. It helps overcome the standard
  technology with the native support across the
  system. 
• Low Energy Wireless 
• This technology helps reduce the load of a
  device by reducing the drainage through
  communication links which enhances the life of
  the device. 
• Radio Protocol
• ZigBee, Z-Wave, and Thread are the most renowned
  protocols used for creating low rate private
  areas. They help in decreasing the typical cost
  while enhancing the power of small local device
  networks. 
• LTE- A 
• This technology has delivered an advanced
  upgrade to the LTE technology by reducing the
  latency and increasing its throughput coverage
  area. 
• Wifi Direct 
• This technology has helped the devices to
  eliminate the need for access points. It has
  allowed Peer to Peer connection at a lesser
  latency without compromising on the speed or
  throughput. 
• Despite being a startup CodeForStartups has
  managed to integrate such a versatile medium in
  its interface. 
• Iot is the future of technology until it is taken
  over by another gigantic move.
