By denition, “The Internet of Things” is literally having every “thing”
connected in a vast, gigantic network, consisting of three layers: sensor
layer, network layer, application layer. The sensor layer consists of
hardware devices that have sensing, computing, and communication
capabilities, and are used to gather physical parameter data. The network
layer acts as a data highway in the Internet of Things, and consist of both
wired and wireless networks such as 3G and LTE. The application layer is
made up of a wide range of intelligent applications that receive data from
the sensor layer and transforms it into useful business intelligence.

Benefits of QNAP NAS
IEIMobile plays an important role in the Internet of Things by providing devices integrated with Automatic Identication and Data Capture and
wireless functions. On one end, data is collected through readers; and on the other end, collected data is transmitted through wireless to a back-
end system. The back-end system normally consists of a storage area in which information can be located for further processing. This is where
our sister company, QNAP, plays an important role.
