Understanding the Internet of Things

Describe the role of sensors in IoT systems.

• Sensors only monitor temperature changes in IoT systems.

• Sensors transmit data without any conversion in IoT systems.

• Sensors are used solely for data storage in IoT systems.

• Sensors collect and convert environmental data into digital signals for processing in IoT systems.

What is the purpose of the IoT gateway?

• To connect IoT devices to the cloud and facilitate data processing.

• To act as a firewall for IoT networks.

• To store data locally on IoT devices.

• To provide power to IoT devices.

Name three common sensor technologies used in IoT.

• Temperature sensors, humidity sensors, motion sensors

• Proximity sensors

• Pressure sensors

• Light sensors

How does data processing occur in an IoT architecture?

• Data processing in IoT architecture only involves data collection.

• Data processing is solely done on the cloud without any local analysis.

• Data processing in IoT architecture eliminates the need for data storage.

• Data processing in IoT architecture involves data collection, transmission, aggregation, analysis, and storage.
