Wireless Connectivity, the Nervous Pathway to Delivering IoT Data

In the architecture of IoT, wireless connectivity functions as a conduction subsystem, like the nervous pathways within the human body that transmit biological electrical signals (sensor data or actuator command) between neural cells (IoT end devices) and the brain (backend cloud platform).

In this chapter, you will learn the fundamental knowledge points about wireless data communication that beginners should know when building their IoT innovations. This knowledge will provide you with a solid foundation to understand the intricacies of wireless data transmission, receiving, and signal processing.

By exploring the details of popular wireless technologies such as BLE, Wi-Fi, LTE-M, and NB-IOT in the domains of 4G/LTE and 5G, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of their capabilities and limitations.

By the end of this chapter, you will have acquired a wealth of knowledge that will empower you to confidently...
