　　對(duì)于物聯(lián)網(wǎng)成為現(xiàn)實(shí)，每個(gè)連接點(diǎn)-無論是直接硬連接或無線-需要多個(gè)物理連接器和路由傳感器，電源，信號(hào)I / O，以及更多，以及互聯(lián)網(wǎng)連接。

　　每個(gè)人都在談?wù)撐锫?lián)網(wǎng)，并有充分的理由。物聯(lián)網(wǎng)將連接無數(shù)的溫度，壓力，流量傳感器，開/關(guān)狀態(tài)，以及更多的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和云，同時(shí)還允許通過熱控制器或?yàn)g覽器設(shè)置的熱量，速度和運(yùn)動(dòng)的執(zhí)行器的控制。

　　這些傳感器和執(zhí)行器將在家庭，辦公室，商店和工廠，專為相對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單的任務(wù)，如家庭暖通空調(diào)和遠(yuǎn)程安全監(jiān)控，以及在關(guān)鍵的應(yīng)用程序，如更新工廠地面機(jī)械狀態(tài)和流程。物理點(diǎn)，地點(diǎn)和機(jī)器將互相溝通，以方便反饋和控制操作，以及與人類誰(shuí)可以監(jiān)視和決定采取行動(dòng)。

　　Just how sizable is this market？ Market research firm IHS expects the installed base for Internet-connected devices will grow from 12.1 billion devices in 2013 to 49.8 billion devices by 2025. The revenue from just one segment of the IoT market – semiconductor-based sensors – is expected to grow from $8.9 billion this year to more than $10.6 billion by 2017. Gartner Group‘s forecast is also huge， with 26 billion connected IoT devices by 2020.

　　The ubiquitous anything-to-anywhere IoT connectivity is made possible， in part， by the availability of cloud services， which provides a data raceway with a near infinite number of on/off ramps as well as associated pit stops （storage areas）。 According to Pete Smith， Sr.， Application Engineer TE Connectivity Sensor Solutions， “What’s also required…but not as obvious or publicized…is a significant amount of physical hardware -- in the form of sensors， actuators， various connectors， I/O ports， wired and wireless links， Internet gateway connections， and so on. And that’s in addition to the critical elements of the Internet backbone， gateways， servers， and routers.”
