This page describes IoT development kits. It covers IoT kits from popular vendors. The IoT kits include vendors such as ARM, Amazon Web Services, Wunder Bar, Twine,Brick Pi, Verve, Kinoma Create, Ninja Sphere, Intel, Microsoft, Arduino etc. IoT stands for Internet of Things.
As we know Internet of Things i.e. IoT is the network which connects not only people but also things using internet backbone. The IoT devices are connected with the IoT network using wireless or wired connections. The battery of IoT devices have been designed to have long life. Often battery are any other charging device in IoT device is powered using energy harvesting techniques.
IoT kits are available to speed up the development work in various wireless standard based devices which include Zigbee, Zwave, LoRa, WiFi, NFC, Weightless, THREAD, Bluetooth etc.
