IoT App Development

Technologies used in our IoT application development Company

• Wi-Fi

  Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology to communicate between sender & receiver using radio frequency technology. Wi-Fi is intended to provide high-speed internet without physical connections. Wi-Fi defined as wireless local area network by Wi-Fi Alliance. Wi-Fi can be used by personal computers, cameras, phones, tablets & etc to transfer. These Wi-Fi enabled devices can be connected to the internet through wireless network access points. Benefits of using Wi-Fi for enterprise IoT applications over other wireless networking technologies

• WiFi direct

  Wi-Fi direct is also called Wi-Fi P2P, which connects devices with each other without the help of a wireless access point. Wi-Fi direct can be used for internet browsing, file transfer, and communication between devices at typical Wi-Fi speed. Wi-Fi direct connects devices from a different manufacturer as well.

• Bluetooth

  Basically, Bluetooth paved a way to exchange data between unwired entities in a revolutionary fashion when compared to let's say IR( where we had to literally keep entities very close to each other).

• Bluetooth Low Energy/Bluetooth Smart

  Bluetooth smart uses 2.4GHz radio frequencies as classic Bluetooth & a single radio antenna can be shared by dual-mode devices. According to applications range of the radio can be optimized. A manufacturer can optimize range to 200 feet and beyond with Bluetooth smart, especially in home automation applications where longer range is required. It’s an industry- standard wireless protocol which supports multi-vendor interoperability. The ability to create a dedicated data channel for IPv6 communication has removed the process of assigning IP addresses to Bluetooth devices. Bluetooth Smart features: - Reduced power consumption - Less implementation cost - Enhanced range - Multi-vendor interoperability

• Zigbee

  Zigbee also called as a high-level communication protocol, which creates personal area networks using low-power digital radios. Compared to WPANs, Zigbee is intended to be less expensive and easy to implement. The applications range from wireless switches to traffic management system. Since it consumes less power, it limits data transmission from 10 to 100 meters depending on environmental anomalies. Zigbee uses mesh(star & tree) networking technology to reach more distance. Since it uses mesh networking style, consumes low power and low-cost, it intended to use in the development of long battery life devices. Zigbee focuses on wireless and sensor networks in IoT & M2M.

• NFC

  NFC is one of wireless communication technologies out here in the tech world. This set of communication protocols communicates with electronic devices, in which one device would be a movable device such as smartphone to achieve near-field communication by bringing them within 10cm each other. NFC is a successor of RFID. Compare to Bluetooth, NFC takes less set-up time.

• Beacons/iBeacons

  iBeacon is Apple’s technology standard, which allows mobile apps(both iOS & Android) to listen & react for signals from beacons in the real physical world. Beacons are small wireless devices which send radio signals uninterruptedly. The mobile apps (smart apps) will receive and react to these signals via BLE technology. It tracks indoor behavior and helps in indoor positioning (even GPS cannot provide). Applications areas are retail, marketing, connected homes & etc.
