big picture came into existence only in 2012 as mentioned by the area experts.
The worldwide spending on IoT and
related field is on the rise and likely to surpass the US$1 trillion mark in
2022. There are multiple sectors that are sure to benefit from IoT solutions.
These include manufacturing, networking, IT based companies and largely
Electronics industry. IoT revolution has taken the start-ups by a storm. IoT
start-ups are already solving some of the most challenging problems, enabling

IoT the most.
Internet of things is going to be
present everywhere. In Smart refrigerators/pantries that use weight-based
sensors and re-order food items, Fitness trackers using GPS devices, smart
homes where lights, heat and air conditioning are remotely controlled, Security
systems with face and voice recognition to gain entry etc.
Electronics industry stands to
gain the maximum from the IoT revolution. Electronics manufacturers have been
connecting devices and appliances for years. VLSI and embedded systems
companies like Intel, Cisco as well as IT companies like Microsoft, Google are
going in a big way in IoT. It’s easy to see what a huge opportunity the
connected home is creating for the electronics industry.
The NorthCap University,Gurugram
is offering B.Tech. Electronics and Communication Engineering with
specialization in Internet of Things where students will be able to apply
practical knowledge on IoT sensors, microcontrollers, networks, cloud computing
and machine learning to develop IoT systems.
