O Level M4R5 MCQ Practice Set pdf Jan 2023

Description
The module is designed to equip the students to understand the basics of the connected world that is the Internet of Things (IoT) and its applications. IoT primarily refers to the connected and smarter world having physical and virtual objects with some unique identities. IoT applications span across domains of industrial control, retail, energy, agriculture, etc. According to expert forecasts, the IoT ecosystem will have 50 billion devices/things by 2020. This module provides the theoretical and practical aspects of interfacing sensors and actuators, making an informed world of Things speaking to each other. The different types of communication modes and models are discussed in detail. The in-depth knowledge of software and packages is provided to make applications in the IoT paradigm.
