The Internet of Things (IoT) is the internetworking of "connected devices" and "smart devices", buildings, and other items, enabling a more efficient way to collect and exchange data. This infrastructure is one of the most important key players in the information society. It is so big today that everyone wants to constantly be and stay "connected" everywhere they go. The trend is such, that people get anxious when they feel they're "off the grid."

IoT offers advanced connectivity of devices, systems and services for communication networks, and covers a variety of protocols, domains, and applications that today's businesses rely heavily upon. The interconnection of these embedded devices (including smart objects), is expected to usher in automation in nearly all fields, while also enabling advanced applications like a smart grid, and expanding to the areas such as Smart Cities and Smart Energy Management Systems.

Based on the application domain, IoT products can be classified broadly into five different categories: smart wearable, smart home, smart city, smart environment and smart enterprise.

The data in these networks is transmitted via cables and also wirelessly (LAN & WLAN). WiFi is a technology for wireless local area network with devices based on the IEEE 802.11 standards. Devices that can use WiFi technology include personal computers, video-game consoles, smartphones, digital cameras, tablet computers, digital audio players and modern printers. SOUNDVIEWSI designs, integrates and maintains data centers and LAN & WLAN network solutions, including wireless access points to connect devices to the internet and provide data services.

WIFI is everywhere. As a business owner, you could even have clients stay longer at your establishment, just by providing access to the internet via openly available WIFI. Take for example Starbucks, which is the go-to-place for having a face-to-face sit-down, to grab a snack, a coffee and be able to "stay connected" via WIFI — all under the same roof...

Whatever your wired or wireless network needs are, to connect and enable your Internet of Things (IoT): SOUNDVIEWSI's solutions are functional yet affordable.
