IoT – An Exquisitely Adequate Technology to Reinforce the “City of Future - Smart City”

Abstract: IoT (Internet of Things) is considered to be the backbone for divergent electronic devices with which the Smart Cities are furnished with. And such smart cities are becoming smarter than ever by virtue of the flourishing growth in state-of-the-art automated and metering technologies. This research paper emphases upon catering all-inclusive scrutiny over the Smart City conceptualization with its impetus and utilization. Furthermore, this review characterizes about the technologies participating in the construction of IoT infrastructure for a Smart City, with the notion of predominant characteristics and elements of the same. And last but not least, there is an elucidation of real-life incidents all over the world, as well as the major challenges to be confronted by IoT in present and coming future.
