The Definition of IoT
Let’s start by stating a definition, so that we have a common understanding of what IoT is.
There are different definitions out there, at Telenor we define IoT as:

The concept of connecting any device (i.e “thing”) to the internet, or to another device. So that the device can send or receive information or perform a remotely controlled task. This can include any device, sharing any kind of information or performing almost any task you can think of.
