Poonam Rana, Kirti Walia, Amanpreet Kaur · 2021
IoT and Fog Computing are the latest solutions that help in better analytics and decision-making for many of the market domains. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term used to signify the number of devices or objects that are attached together using an Internet connection. Fog Computing is a decentralized and flexible system that helps to deliver and transport data and useful information across the Cloud and IoT. Fog computing's goal is to locate basic computation services at the edge of the network where they are needed this helps in the reduction of the distance the data has to travel resulting in an increase in the performance. Fog computing enhances the concept of Cloud Computing. There are various Cloud services available in the market viz Microsoft Azure Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, IBM Cloud, etc. IoT and Fog Computing go hand in hand and work together in providing an overall better IoT service. This paper discussed the benefits of using Fog Computing and IoT together in Minimizing latency, Conserve network bandwidth, less operating cost, more security, more reliability, and many more for building smart infrastructure for cities.
