How it works

Three layers behind every connected system

Communication carries the data, protocols set the rules, and applications turn it into decisions.

  1. IoT communication technology: device hardware and software, wireless connectivity, cloud platform and applications over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRaWAN, cellular and Ethernet

    Communication

    IoT communication technology is the digital nervous system of a connected world, letting devices communicate, collaborate and exchange data seamlessly.

    Sensors, actuators and connectivity — Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRaWAN, cellular and Ethernet — carry information between devices and central systems, giving businesses and people real-time insight and actionable intelligence. From industrial processes to smart home automation, it is reshaping how we interact with technology.

  2. IoT protocol stack: devices, gateway, cloud, applications and internet, with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee and LoRa wireless and MQTT, CoAP and HTTP/HTTPS communication protocols

    Protocols

    IoT protocols are the rules that govern how devices communicate and exchange data, ensuring interoperability, efficiency and security.

    Wireless protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Zigbee, and messaging protocols such as MQTT, CoAP and HTTP, each suit different needs — some prioritize low power consumption, others high-speed data transfer or reliability. Choosing the right mix is what makes a system dependable.

  3. IoT applications across smart homes, healthcare, industrial IoT, smart cities and smart agriculture

    Applications

    IoT applications blend the physical and digital worlds to make life more efficient, convenient and sustainable.

    They gather real-time data from sensors, devices and systems to enable smarter decisions and proactive responses to changing conditions — in smart homes, healthcare, industry, smart cities and agriculture.

Protocols

7

Open, proven standards that let every device talk — wired or wireless, low-power or high-bandwidth.

  • Bluetooth

    Short-range wireless standard used for low-power device pairing and control.

  • LoRaWAN

    Long-range, low-power wide-area protocol for distributed sensor networks.

  • Modbus

    Industrial serial protocol widely used for connecting factory equipment and controllers.

  • MQTT

    Lightweight publish/subscribe messaging protocol for IoT telemetry.

  • Z-Wave

    Low-power mesh protocol common in residential smart home devices.

  • Wi-Fi

    High-bandwidth wireless networking for devices and gateways.

  • Zigbee

    Low-power mesh networking standard for smart home and building sensors.
