[Infographic] IoT Essentials: Nodes, Layers, Network Architectures and Security

We've created an infographic to show you the building blocks of the Internet of Things (IoT) and how they're put together to enable m2m communications, Big Data processing and a totally connected world.

Today's biggest IoT challenge is in building a set of standards to allow for creation of better compatibility across industries and functions. See below what's available so far when it comes to API and communication layers, sensor nodes, embedded processing nodes, network architectures, and data security.
