Technologies that support IoT solutions
Modern IoT systems can take advantage of different solutions to meet specific requirements for the organisation. These may include:
Edge computing
Edge computing is where the technology within the device itself is used to make smart devices do more than just send or receive data to their IoT platform. It increases the computing power at the edges of an IoT network, reducing communication latency and improving response time.
Cloud computing
Cloud technology is used for remote data storage and IoT device management, making the data accessible to multiple devices in the network, or across multiple networks.

Machine learning and AI
Machine learning and AI is optional software and algorithms used to process data and make real-time decisions based on that data. Processing of IoT data and triggers may not require this and may be processed using simpler business rules logic.
