INFRASTRUCTURE COMPLETE QUESTIONS WITH 100% CORRECT
ANSWERS
\Q\.1st wave of IoT - ANSWERS✔-Hardware breakthrough that aimed to connect everyday
objects to a network
\Q\.2nd wave of IoT - ANSWERS✔-Developing new types of sensors and new technologies and
protocols to support their deployment
\Q\.3rd wave of IoT - ANSWERS✔-Data collection, processing, and security
\Q\.IoT ecosystem - ANSWERS✔-Set of stakeholders that participate in the deployment of IoT
technology and the relationship between them
\Q\.Information provider - ANSWERS✔-Owners of sensor deployments.
Collects and makes data available to others without giving up ownership rights of the
information.
They also build dedicated services or applications.
\Q\.Platform provider - ANSWERS✔-Provides computing and storage infrastructure, analytics as
well as AI capabilities
\Q\.Application developers - ANSWERS✔-Produce applications that process the available data
within a specific context to produce actionable insight for end users.

\Q\.End users - ANSWERS✔-Private persons or institutional decision makers that use
information and applications provided by other stakeholders
\Q\.Cybersecurity - ANSWERS✔-Practice of protecting information systems, networks, data and
programs
\Q\.Cyberspace - ANSWERS✔-Network of hundreds of thousands of interconnected computers,
servers, routers, switches and fiber optic cables that allow vital infrastructures to work
\Q\.Digital - ANSWERS✔-Technologies that generate, store and process data as fixed numbers;
binary digits or bits in the form of 0's and 1's
\Q\.Information systems - ANSWERS✔-Combinations of hardware, software and networks that
are integrated together to collect, process, store and distribute data
\Q\.Information broker - ANSWERS✔-Module used to store IoT data received from sensors or
from the cloud
\Q\.Internet - ANSWERS✔-Global network of wired and wireless networks
\Q\.Web - ANSWERS✔-Information space consisting of a number of public resources that are
linked together and made accessible via the internet
\Q\.Cyber terrorists - ANSWERS✔-Uses cyberspace to disrupt critical infrastructures to elicit
widespread panic and loss of public confidence in the ability of government to function
effectively, such as by interrupting critical infrastructure
, 3|Page
\Q\.Consumer IoT - ANSWERS✔-All the user's networks around their personal and home
devices
\Q\.Industrial IoT - ANSWERS✔-Machines, computers and people enabling intelligent industrial
operations using advanced data analytics for transformation business outcomes
\Q\.Internet of Bodies (IoB) - ANSWERS✔-Connected devices that monitor the human body,
collect physiological, biometric, or behavioral data and exchange information of a wireless or
hybrid network. Can be implanted, swallowed or worn.
\Q\.Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) - ANSWERS✔-Short-distance network that allows
multiple devices within a small area to connect to each other.
Examples of a WPAN are Bluetooth and Zigbee.
\Q\.Sensors - ANSWERS✔-Devices that respond to inputs from the physical environment and
use those inputs for decision-making by displaying the inputs, transmitting them for additional
processing, or using them in conjunction with artificial intelligence
\Q\.Sensor data - ANSWERS✔-Measurements of some physical property. Data has values, a time
and location. There are fixed and mobile sensors.
\Q\.Actuator - ANSWERS✔-Device that converts an electrical signal into a corresponding
physical quantity such as movement, force, or sound
\Q\.IoT devices - ANSWERS✔-Simple networked devices such as sensors and actuators that are
installed close to the data source or control interfaces. Usually connected via 3G, 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi,
PCIe, USB or Ethernet within an edge computing application scenario.
