ITPEC FE Morning April 2019 Question 71
ITPEC FE Morning April 2019 — Question 71 of 80
IoT (Internet of Things) — identifying what is NOT an IoT application
The question asks which option is not appropriate as an IoT example.
Correct answer: a) — A standalone computer performing file management, arithmetic, printing, and other tasks without accessing a server is not IoT. IoT requires devices to connect and exchange data over the Internet.
Why not the others:
- b) Sensors in construction equipment reporting status to the manufacturer via the Internet — classic industrial IoT (IIoT)
- c) Automobiles sharing real-time traffic/location data via vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication — IoT in transportation
- d) A smart electricity meter transmitting usage data to a power company automatically — IoT in smart grids/utilities
Key rule: IoT = physical devices with sensors/connectivity that collect and exchange data over the Internet. A device working offline and independently is not IoT.
