When it comes to connected devices we talk about: Embedded processing at the heart of the IoT; Local processing capabilities provided by microcontroller units (MCUs), hybrid microcontrollers/microprocessors (MCUs/MPUs) or integrated MCU devices, which can provide the real-time embedded processing required for most IoT applications.
We also talk also about: IoT devices equipped with powerful embedded
processors for advanced computing processes; Connected devices able to handle
processing equivalent to today's laptops and smartphones.
Beyond set of challenges related to the security; Organizations, industries, and technologists across
the world are adopting the IoT concept due to its vast possibilities and
numerous advantages (actionable data and insights; improved working, health and
living conditions); these advantages are also luring consumers to buy more
devices that can connect to each other in a network and share information.
