IoT platform

The IoT platform consists of four functional layers—the device, data, integration, and service layers. For each functional layer, let us understand the capabilities required for the IoT platform:

Device	Device management capabilities supporting device registration, provisioning, and controlling access to devices. Seamless connectivity to devices to send and receive data.
Data	Management of huge volume of data transmitted between devices. Derive intelligence from data collected and trigger actions.
Integration	Collaboration of information between devices.
Service	API gateways exposing the APIs.
