**Benefits and Challenges of Internet of Things for** 

DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.81891

Recently, Internet of things (IoTs) has become the main issue in designing monitoring systems such as smart environments, smart cars, and smart wearable devices. IoTs has transformed the life of people to be more adaptable and intelligent. For example, in a healthcare monitoring system, using smart devices will improve the performance of doctors, nurses, patients, and the healthcare industry. The IoTs revolution is known as the fourth industrial revolution and would change the way humans interact with machines and lead the way to a high-technology machine-to-machine interaction. In fact, almost every device around us would be connected to Internet, collecting and exchanging data with other devices on the cloud. In this chapter, we will introduce the benefits of IoTs on telecommunication networks and its challenges to give a complete overview for researchers to know how to improve our life and society by building smart IoTs systems.

In recent decades, due to the developments in wireless and computer technologies, processors and sensors have been embedded into a lot of objects, which are used in our life. To build and design a real smart environment, these advancements are supported by huge developments in many research and industrial areas such as ubiquitous computing, wireless mobile communications, portable appliances and devices, wireless sensor networking, machine learning-based decision-making, agent technologies, IPv6 support, and human computer interfaces. A smart environment has sensor-enabled devices working collaboratively to build a small connected world for making the lives of people more comfortable and adaptable. The term smart refers to
