The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new set of concepts or technologies that allows devices or machines (such as lights, signs, parking gates, motors or even pacemakers) to transform from simple objects to "smart" through the use of sensors, actuators and data communication technologies. IoT enables the smart devices to be "virtually" tracked, monitored and controlled across a wireless network (or the Internet). As far as Internet of things companies are concerned, they are busy working with organizations around the world to help the incorporate this new technology approach into their business models. This paper reflects about the important aspects of IoT and its features, and various companies using and enhancing it along with companies profile in the area of IoT.
