gs is to connect the unconnected. This new phase in technology development means that devices can allow us to sense and control elements of the physical world in a previously impossible way. What makes these devices "smart" is the connectivity with other devices: sensors, controllers, and other systems on your network. This tight integration between IoT devices and traditional computer networks improves efficiency, cost-reduction, automation, and data analysis.
