The role of Internet of Things in developing smart cities

May 3, 2018

The Internet of Things concept (known in the literature as IoT) is not as new as one might think. It first appeared in 1999 when Kevin Ashton, the British who created the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems standards, used it to describe a system in which the Internet connects to the physical world through sensors , these having the role of collecting data for sending them over networks to servers. Since back then he described how the devices connected to the Internet will change our lives, which nowadays is already far from being science-fiction.
