Glossary

IoT projects require technology, security and organisational requirements to work together. This glossary sets out key terms relevant to architecture decisions, system integration, feasibility assessments and the sustainable development of connected ecosystems.

IoT ecosystem

An IoT ecosystem describes the interplay between connected devices, platforms, data flows, applications and operating processes. In a consulting context, the term matters because technical decisions are rarely made in isolation – they affect the entire connected environment.

Communication protocols

Communication protocols define how devices, platforms and applications exchange data. They matter in IoT projects because they affect a solution's reliability, performance, cost, security, energy consumption and ability to integrate with other systems.

Proof of concept

A proof of concept (POC) is an early check on whether an idea is feasible, both technically and from a business perspective. In IoT projects, it reduces uncertainty before major investments are made in architecture, device integration or product development.
