About this ebook

The rapid evolution of digital technologies has transformed the way humans interact with their surroundings, leading to the emergence of a fully connected world driven by the Internet of Things (IoT). Today, smart devices, sensors, communication networks and intelligent platforms work together to create seamless experiences across healthcare, industries, agriculture, education, smart homes, and infrastructure. This book, “IoT Unplugged: Foundations, Technologies and Applications,” is designed to offer a comprehensive understanding of these technological foundations, architectures, protocols, platforms, and real-world applications that define the intelligent era of connected systems. The purpose of this book is to equip learners, researchers, and practitioners with a detailed perspective on how IoT works—starting from the basic concepts to advanced design principles. It covers the building blocks of IoT, including device communication, layered architecture, protocol stacks, wireless sensor networks, and application development frameworks. With a structured approach, each chapter dives into both theoretical knowledge and practical relevance, ensuring that readers not only understand how IoT functions but also how it is implemented in real-world environments. Special emphasis is placed on emerging IoT platforms such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and IBM Watson, along with development tools like Raspberry Pi, which help bridge the gap between physical devices and digital applications. The content is framed to support students and professionals in developing analytical and problem-solving skills necessary for designing secure, scalable, and efficient IoT solutions.

This book is intended for engineering students, faculty members, industry enthusiasts, and innovators who wish to explore the potential of IoT as a transformative technology. It is our belief that the knowledge imparted in these pages will encourage learners to think innovatively and contribute to the ongoing revolution of smart and sustainable systems. We hope this work serves as a useful reference and inspires further research in the ever-expanding world of IoT.
