ABSTRACT
The term Internet of Things (IoT) was first coined by Kevin Ashton in the late 90s, but in reality, IoT goes back a lot further than that. IoT has a wide range of applications in various sectors and domains. The applications can improve the ways people live, provide better interactions with the environment and facilitate the growth in the economy. IoT systems are generally comprised of devices, or objects that need to exchange data with each other, or with a central server. The advantage of this topology is the high level of reliability as the applications can run even if the Internet access fails. Bluetooth is a low cost wireless technology for establishing personal area networks (PANs) over short distances, typically less than 100 m. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technologies were initially designed to provide short-range connectivity for the purpose of identification, utilized in various domains such as logistic, manufacturing, health-care, security, and access control.
