The internet of things (IoT) is an imminent model in the field of wireless telecommunications. It is also considered as a third wave of information technology after the Internet and mobile communication. Basically, IoT is a wireless interconnected network of variety of objects such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, sensors, actuators, mobile phones and other types of wireless devices. It has extensible application in the areas such as public security, infrastructure development, modern agriculture, environment protection, urban management, healthcare, enhanced learning, and business service, among others. IoT is a self-configuring wireless network of sensors where the primary goal of establishing connection is to offer interconnectivity of various objects. The concept of IoT was coined by the Auto-Id center of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1999
