Smart city implementation model based on IoT

The Internet of Things (IoT) can be defined as an environment where internet capabilities are applied to everyday objects that have earlier not been considered as computers to provide a network connectivity that will enable these objects to generate, exchange and consume data. According to a forecast given by the Ericsson Mobility report issued in June 2016, there will be as many as 16 billion connected devices that will get Internet of Things (IoT) technology-enabled by 2021. Apart from having its uses in personal well-being and comfort, IoT will be a key factor in the planning of smart cities specially in the time when governments are focussed on the development of smart cities. This technology can be implemented not just for communication networks but also for sanitation, transportation, healthcare, energy use and much more.
