  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Smart Cities

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an important functional component of the Smart City. IoT generally refers to a collection of embedded computing, networking, and communications technologies that collectively comprise an autonomous machine-to-machine or device-to-device network. This chapter discusses several aspects of IoT design, including unique challenges, requirements, test methodologies, and standards which affect Smart City deployments.
