INTERNET OF THINGS IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF INDIA INTO A DIGITAL ECONOMY

Prof. Ms. Pallavi S. Mane

Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;The Internet of Things (IoT) is an all-encompassing term for a network backbone that will host billions of devices and sensors that communicate intelligently. This ecosystem of interconnected things and the technology that manages them is expected to have a market potential of $15 billion by 2020 in India alone. The IoT is in fact the inflection point that is expected to transform the global economy, and specifically those economies that plan around it. The Indian government believes in the tremendous opportunities that the IoT presents, and is planning a close synergy between the Digital India programme and the IoT, and has already drafted it into policy. The IoT will be part of the oadband highway that will deliver a wide range of e-governance and citizen services to all corners of the country. This paper hence provides a comprehensive survey of the enabling technologies, protocols and architecture for an urban IoT</p>
