3. The Internet of Things digitizes the real world and is widely used. The Internet of Things brings the scattered information closer and integrates the digital information of things. The application fields of the Internet of Things mainly include the following aspects: transportation and logistics, industrial manufacturing, medical care, intelligent environment (home, office, factory), personal and social fields, etc. It has a very broad market and application prospect.
