Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) promises a world where devices seamlessly communicate, enhancing convenience, efficiency, and innovation. However, this vision is hampered by a significant challenge: the lack of interoperability. Interoperability refers to the ability of different IoT devices and systems to work together smoothly, regardless of manufacturer or protocol. Currently, diverse standards, protocols, and platforms create silos, preventing seamless integration. This fragmentation leads to inefficiencies, increased costs, and security vulnerabilities. Addressing this issue requires developing and adopting universal standards, fostering stakeholder collaboration, and encouraging an open ecosystem. Solving interoperability challenges is crucial for realizing the full potential of IoT, enabling smarter cities, improved healthcare, and more efficient industries.
