To boldly go where no sensor has gone before: The movement to place IoT in radical new spaces
share
In this article, we have presented an overview on a unified framework which is called as the Internet of X-things (X-IoT) that will warrant the convergence of emerging use cases of the Internet of Things everywhere around us, i.e., under the ground and oceans and even in the outer space. It is anticipated that such a framework will foster the design and development of smart objects capable of performing sensing under all-rounded environment and communication technologies capable of offering ubiquitous connectivity of course with the desired requirements. Through this framework, we get to know what has been done since recently and how the technical challenges across the broad spectrum of emerging use cases under the water, underground and over the space are converging toward future solutions.
