Internet of Things (IoT)

IoT connects everyday objects to the internet, enabling them to collect and share data.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming the world by connecting everyday devices and enabling them to communicate, analyze data, and make intelligent decisions. At the Institute of Research, Innovation, Incubation, and Commercialization (IRIIC) at United International University (UIU), we are actively exploring the potential of IoT to solve real-world problems and bring innovative solutions to life. Our IoT initiatives span various sectors, including healthcare, urban development, environmental monitoring, and smart infrastructure.

What is IoT?

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of physical devices—such as sensors, appliances, vehicles, and machinery—that are embedded with software and connectivity features, enabling them to collect and exchange data. By leveraging IoT, organizations can monitor, manage, and optimize their resources in real-time, leading to increased efficiency, better decision-making, and improved quality of life.
