Abstract

There is presently a technological revolution in the world and our way of life has started changing at a fast forward pace. Thanks to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the Internet. The Internet is a global inter-connection of systems over a Wide Area Network (WAN). The Things in the Internet of Things could be described as intelligent objects capable of connecting to the Internet while the objects are software or electronically embedded. Internet of Things (IOT) is an enhanced technology that allows connectivity between physical objects wirelessly through the internet and enables information sharing with other networks for the purpose of processing such for the users; an interaction between the physical and digital worlds through a loose assemblage of sensors and actuators without human intervention. IoT is the new platform for network communication. Infrastructure, Communication, Interfaces, Protocols and standard are some of the fundamental issues involve in the development of Internet of Things. IoT applications are developed software embedded with objects such as the sensors to drive the Air-Conditioners in homes, Cars, home and street lightening systems, Micro waves transportation and the automotive industries. This paper discusses the IoT as one of the emerging concepts of the ICT revolution - the technology, architecture and applications. Finally, a brief elicitation of the benefits of this great concept (IoT) and its applications to Nigeria and Nigerians is presented.
