The internet of things refers to the many devices that will be connected to the internet over the next number of years. According to various sources, the number of devices connected to the internet by 2020 is estimated to be from 26 to 50 billion (the number of all devices connected to the internet in 2012 was estimated to be around 8.7 billion). Many of these new devices will be battery powered (or energy harvested) embedded systems where long-range communcations and low-energy are crucial to their success. This is particularly true in cases where the devices needs to be small and light where the battery can dominate the size and weight of the device. In addition, for long-range communications, there will likely be a need for repeaters (devices that relay the wireless information to extend the range) and once again, low-energy operation will be critical.

物联网指的是未来几年将连接到互联网的许多设备。根据各种来源，到2020年，连接到互联网的设备数量估计为260亿至500亿（2012年连接到互联网的所有设备数量估计约为87亿）。这些新设备中的许多将是电池供电（或能量收集）的嵌入式系统，其中远程通信和低能耗对它们的成功至关重要。 在设备需要小而轻的情况下尤其如此，其中电池可以主导设备的尺寸和重量。 此外，对于长距离通信，可能需要中继器（中继无线信息以扩展范围的设备），并且再次，低能耗操作将是至关重要的。
