We have covered almost all topics related to IoT and its technology stack. The final topic in this chapter is going to be about standards in IoT.
As we have seen so far, there are way too many ways in which one can build their IoT solution stack and there are plenty of masters in this field who think their approach is better. This leads to multiple ways of implementing solutions in IoT.
Be it hardware standards, software standards, communication standards, or data computation standards, there are plenty of options available. As we start looking at various platforms in the book, you will come to realize how each of them is different from the other internally, but that they end up with a similar solution stack.
Take a look at this excellent article named IoT Standards and Protocols - An overview of protocols involved in Internet of Things devices and applications. Help clarify with IoT layer technology stack and head-to-head comparisons here: https://www.postscapes.com/internet-of-things-protocols/. It will give you a high-level understanding of all the possible protocols and standards in each layer.
