IoT Network, the Neural System of Things
The IoT network typically consists of IoT end devices, wireless connectivity (in most cases), and a backend cloud platform. It operates like the neural system of the human body, which consists of neuron cells, nervous pathways, and the brain. Neuron cells serve as biological sensors, detecting stimuli from the skin or muscles and generating biological electrical signals, similar to IoT end devices sensoring the object status change. These biological electrical signals travel through nervous pathways, which are comparable to delivering sensor data through wired/wireless connectivity in an IoT network.
Eventually, these biological electrical signals reach the brain, the central command center, as with the cloud platform in IoT. Just as the brain interprets, processes, and responds to sensory information, cloud services collect, store, analyze, and make decisions based on the received data from IoT end devices.
